“The institutional work of Bologna Festival, aimed at raising awareness towards culture and beauty, would be a miserable act if it did not also include human solidarity regarding a huge tragedy such as the one that has struck the Ukrainian people. Unable to remain indifferent to such urgent needs, we have decided to devolve 2% of the entire box office revenue of Bologna Festival 2022 season to the International Red Cross for their actions in Ukraine.”
