A nostalgic documentary that records the arrival of modernity in Bologna. A series of photos are shown from the beginnings of the 1900’s demonstrating how the urban space was constructed around the concept of a city-fortress, an urban model that was practically unaltered up until the early 50’s. Afterwards with the change from an agricultural economy to industrialization, the architectural reality of the city also began to change; as new spaces are constructed they filter into the historic center, breaking through the closed reality of the ancient city walls.
