Case Study: the digitalisation of the management of street artists in Bologna

Bologna, a city with a rich musical tradition, was named Creative City of Music by UNESCO in 2006. The Municipality has always valorised street art, but with the increase in the number of artists the need for a more efficient system to manage bookings of performances, especially for amplified music.

The challenges of Manual Management

With the growing number of street artists, the manual management of seat reservations has become unsustainable, leading to:

  1. Waste of time and resources for the administration;
  2. Difficulty in regulating the use of amplified music;
  3. Ineffective communication between the Municipality and artists.

The Municipality of Bologna needed an automated solution to improve operational efficiency and reduce the manual workload.

The solution: a Digital Booking platform

To solve these problems, Tredipi has developed an innovative web platform, divided into three areas:

  1. Public Area: allows citizens to consult the performances scheduled in the city.
  2. Artists Area: allows artists to book their performances, view performance history and comply with municipal regulations.
  3. Administrative Area: centralizes the management of bookings, regulates the exhibition areas and facilitates communication between the Municipality and the artists.

Thanks to this platform, artists can register online and book positions with or without amplification and percussion, respecting the regulations established by the Municipality.

Digitalized management

The platform centralizes bookings and communication. To quantify the benefits, a baseline, an observation period and documented measures are needed: Online bookings, with centralized management of requests. Increased operational efficiency, with greater control over the regulation of amplified music. Improvement of communication between the Municipality and artists, simplifying bureaucratic processes.

"The platform developed by Tredipi completely meets our current needs. Now we can manage bookings and communication with street artists quickly and effectively, saving time and improving control over the use of amplified music in the historic center."

Thanks to the digitalization of the management of street artists, the Municipality of Bologna has transformed a complex and wasteful system into a simple and efficient process. This case study demonstrates how technological innovation can improve the management of urban events, optimizing resources and simplifying the lives of operators in the sector.
