On March 1, 1911, Enrichetta Corò and Enrico Tura purchased a tavern brewery called Zaramella, with a horse stable and 4 rooms, right in front of the Mestre train station.
After a significant renovation, the building transformed from a simple inn into a proper hotel.
In 1915, the evolution of the initial project became even more evident with the creation of the Bologna Hotel and the adjacent Bolognese Restaurant.
The First World War did not cause any significant damage to the structure, despite numerous bombings by the Austro-Hungarian aviation.
In the immediate aftermath of the war, Enrico Tura continued to improve the hotel, which enjoyed success due to its strategic location.
In a short period of time, the train station became a crucial transit hub for people and goods, with the majority of customers being traveling salesmen.
Unfortunately, a few years later, World War II heavily impacted the fate of the Bologna Hotel. During an English bombing raid in 1944, a bomb struck the building, completely destroying a part of it.
After the war, all activities flourished again, and with the simultaneous transformation of the city, the Bologna Hotel, managed by Franco, the only son of the Tura couple since 1956, quickly became an important meeting point for social and political life in the Municipality of Venice.
In the early 1980s, the sudden death of Franco Tura did not prevent Annamaria Coin and her two daughters, Cristina and Paola, from maintaining and further developing the Bologna Hotel.
The rooms were beautified and equipped with all the best available comforts, while the common areas increasingly took on the typical characteristics of modern international hotels.
In 1997, Paola Tura definitively assumed the role of CEO of the company, continuing the process of redesign.
Today, thanks to Paola Tura's management over the past twenty years, the "Bologna" has been completely restored, perfectly adapting to the new urban fabric and the new travel and work needs.
Since 2010, Paola Tura's sons, Mattia Cecchinato Tura and Marco Cecchinato Tura, have joined their mother in managing the hotel, representing the fourth generation, respectively as the financial manager and resident manager.
