BOLOGNA VIOLENTA is a project born in 2005 from an idea of Nicola Manzan, a musician from Treviso who has since released six albums under this pseudonym, as well as various ep's, split albums and remixes. His music has always been characterized by extreme sounds and very short compositions performed with electric guitar, strings and electronic drums, evolving over the years and gradually replacing the guitars with the sole violin.
tThe new album, entitled Bancarotta Morale, is a further step forward in the search for unusual sounds and it is the natural evolution of what has been released to date.
The issues addressed are mostly related to the dramas of life, the strong contrast between the human being and the world around him, and above all, the difficult relationship between human beings themselves. In 2015 the project became a duo with the joining of Alessandro Vagnoni as a live drummer and multi-instrumentalist in the recording studio duties.
tBOLOGNA VIOLENTA has been the subject matter for examination in the Digital Art course at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice and the project "The Sound of..." (in which the tracks of forty different discographies are played simultaneously) was also presented at the same venue.
tThe documentary "Uno Bianca - Mirare allo Stato" has been released in 2019 and the soundtrack includes songs from the albums published between 2010 and 2016.
