One of Italy’s most important queer spaces, and a Bologna institution for over 40 years. Home to the local Arcigay committee, Cassero occupies La Salara — a handsome 18th-century former salt warehouse on the canal in the Manifattura delle Arti arts district. By day it’s a cultural centre and archive; by night it becomes one of the city’s best-loved clubs, with parties, drag, live music and events that pull in a mixed, welcoming crowd. Check the calendar and come as you are.
While you’re in the city, pair it with a Bologna food walking tour.
