Bologna FC’s Bar Carlino: A Pre-Match Event Filled with Passion and Community
The fourth edition of the Bar Carlino pre-match event for Bologna Football Club’s upcoming Europa League match against Brann was a resounding success, held on 6 November 2025 at Neri Pasticceria Caffetteria in Bucarest. The event aimed to engage fans and supporters with a mix of sports, literature, and social themes.
Passion for the Club
The atmosphere was electric as fans gathered at the venue. Stefano Ferrari from Banca di Bologna and Valentino Di Pisa from Confcommercio Ascom shared their passion for the club:
“Sognare insieme si può – racconta Ferrari. Come banca del territorio, ci piace condividere i nostri valori e portare avanti questo progetto.”
Ferrari emphasized the bank’s commitment to supporting and promoting Bologna FC, while Di Pisa highlighted how the club has become a central part of the city’s identity. The event underscored the strong bond between the club and its fans, with over 2000 Brann supporters expected to attend the match.

“Ci occupiamo di adattare lo sport alle caratteristiche delle persone con cui lavoriamo e l’insegnamento della disciplina,”
Baldassarre and Gaibari emphasized the importance of inclusivity, ensuring that sports can reach all individuals regardless of their physical conditions.
The Connection Between Italy and Norway
A special segment focused on the relationship between Bologna and Norway. Sara Callegaro from Alma Mater provided insights into the geological differences between the two regions:
“Ho vissuto a Oslo – ricorda Callegaro. Studio rocce magmatiche, questo mi ha portato in Norvegia per nove anni. A Bologna abbiamo un tipo di geologia sedimentario, quindi molto erodibile, che crea fenomeni di frane.”
Callegaro’s background as a geologist highlighted the unique characteristics of both regions and how they shape their respective sports cultures.

“Cerco di sensibilizzare su questi argomenti, accompagnando le persone che sentono di avere bisogno, in un percorso di consapevolezza.”
Dozio’s efforts to spread awareness and provide support resonated with the community, demonstrating how digital platforms can play a crucial role in mental health advocacy.
The Bar Carlino pre-match event not only provided an engaging platform for sports enthusiasts but also fostered discussions on broader social issues. As Bologna FC prepares for their Europa League match, these events continue to build a strong sense of community and shared passion among fans.
