MUSEUM OF INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE
The Museum of Industrial Heritage is housed in the former Fornace Galotti brickworks at Battiferro, beside the Navile Canal. The building dates from 1887 and was fully restored in 1997.
The permanent exhibition covers approximately 3,500 m² over three floors and six themed sections with collections of scientific instruments, models, and machinery belonging to the Aldini-Valeriani Institution.
Around the kiln, one section is dedicated to the Galotti Brickworks and brick production, while another focuses on the packaging industry.
The displays also explore five centuries of manufacturing excellence in Bologna, from the historic silk industry, which harnessed a complex network of waterways to power its machinery, to the mechanical engineering and mechatronics industries of the twentieth century.

EXHIBITION dedicated to the Bolognese motorcycle brand C.M.
CONCLUDED
The C.M., founded by Mario Cavedagni, played an important role in the history of Bologna motorcycle racing. With a highly competent management, even with limited resources, it managed to carve out its own space among local and national brands. It met market demands with excellent machines for tourism, sports, and commercial use. It offered models of all displacements with every possible variant, but always with adequate construction criteria, careful and elegant finishes, participating with good results in competitions of the time such as the Milan-Taranto and the Motogiro, the 12 Hours of Imola and the International 6 Days regularity race.
