Mariachiara Di Giorgio / Kalina Muhova

Al Cappello Rosso hotel has become a sort of carnet of BilBOlbul’s guests. Since the first editions of the convention, the hotel has encouraged the artists to leave a trace of their permanence in Bologna. And so the BBB Rooms: themed rooms that the artists can transform and rearreange. Through the years many artists passed by: Blexbolex, Liniers, Ruppert & Mulot, Alessandro Baronciani, Anna Deflorian, Alice Socal, Laurent Moreau, Bastien Contraire.
