About this audio guide
This guide to Cantina Bentivoglio in Bologna traces the wine cellar beneath a sixteenth-century Bentivoglio family palace, opening with the ruin of the family's first palace in fifteen-oh-seven. From there it follows the cellar's years as a working wine depot, and the crisis that hit when bottled wine changed how Italy shopped. You'll hear who filled the space next, and what has kept it busy every night since. Best heard standing near the stage before the room fills for the evening set.
