In Bologna, law enforcement agencies including the Polizia di Stato, Carabinieri, and Guardia di Finanza have conducted high-impact operations to combat crime and drug dealing in the San Donato district and near the railway station. These operations resulted in the identification of 171 individuals and several legal actions related to robbery suspects.

Concurrently, the city is managing significant infrastructure projects. While some areas like via Santo Stefano are reopening, new roadworks on via Enrico Mattei and other arteries are expected to affect traffic flow through late September.
