Versatile Showroom with On-Site Apartment in Bologna.
tl;dr
- Space
- A 73 sqm (786 sq ft) showroom space with an on site private guest apartment on Strada Maggiore in Bologna's historic centre, available for rent as a by appointment venue combining classical Bolognese architecture with a clean modern gallery fit out across reception, display and meeting zones.
- Best For
- Wholesale appointments and buyer preview sessions for small collections, private press days and collection previews with controlled guest lists, short term pop up shop and temporary retail runs, art exhibitions and gallery showings, and photo or video production using the space as a brand shoot location. Book by the day or by the week depending on activation length.
- Standout Features
- A private guest room with pull out double sofa bed and full modern bathroom lets visiting sales teams stay on site during selling periods, alongside fitting rooms, garment rails, retail counters and a stock room already installed. Additional infrastructure includes adjustable display lighting, sound and video equipment, air conditioning and heating, a refreshment corner with mini fridge and coffee machine, plus lift access and parking, all vetted by Fashion Week Venues.
- Location
- Strada Maggiore in Bologna's centro storico, roughly 4 minutes on foot from Piazza Santo Stefano and about 8 minutes from Piazza Maggiore, with city bus lines running along the street itself. The porticoed approach is covered end to end, which makes load in straightforward in any weather, and guests arrive past independent fashion retailers such as Fiorentini and Baker and two civic museums within 100 m.
- Availability
- Day rate is 840 EUR with a one day minimum rental, so short bookings and single day press appointments are viable. We recommend 4 to 6 weeks lead time in Bologna, extending to 8 weeks around Milan Fashion Week and the Bologna trade fair calendar including Cosmoprof in spring, when central showroom spaces at this end of the city book fastest.
- How to Book
- Send a brief with your dates and activation format and we reply within 24h with confirmed availability and a full cost breakdown, with no charge until confirmed. Permit paperwork, on site attendant staffing and fit out coordination are handled by our team, including event styling and interior support where required, so enquire now to request availability and hold your dates.
