Opening an artisan workshop in Bologna: the complete guide

Bologna is a city with a strong artisan tradition, and today more than ever the "new craftsmanship" is experiencing a renaissance.

Why Bologna for your workshop?

Bologna offers a unique ecosystem for artisans: a centuries-old tradition of excellence, a local market attentive to quality, proximity to international fairs.

Bureaucratic requirements

Before opening your workshop, you will need to open a VAT number, register with the Chamber of Commerce, communicate the start of activity to the Municipality.

How to choose the right space

The choice of workshop is crucial. Consider the size, technical requirements such as ceiling height and electrical load, and location.
