Third placeCommons and belonging1945

The Circolo Arci Guernelli has operated since 1945 as a meeting point for the San Donato district in Bologna. It combines a social bar, a popular library, live music and theatre workshops, in the tradition of the circoli ARCI that emerged as working-class sociability networks after the post-war period. It was never conceived as a third place, but it has fulfilled that function for eight decades.
