About this audio guide
This guide to MAMbo in Bologna follows two lives of the same address. It opens on the second of June nineteen seventy-seven, when three hundred fifty visitors squeezed one at a time through a doorway framed by Marina Abramovic and Ulay during a six-day performance festival that also drew police attention down the street. Then it steps back to nineteen fifteen, when the wartime mayor raised this building as the city's bread bakery. The festival, called the Settimana Internazionale della Performance, brought forty-nine artists from across Italy and Europe to Bologna that week.
