Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna conserves and restores film heritage and promotes cinema and audiovisual works. Its activities also include training, research, a library and publishing. It became a foundation in 2012.

It runs the Cinema Modernissimo, Cinema Lumière and Sala Cervi in Bologna, which show classics and first-run films in original language, and the Arena Puccini during the summer season. Membership cards (Amico and Sostenitore) are valid at these venues and give discounts at partner businesses. The foundation also runs the distribution project "Il Cinema Ritrovato al cinema", which brings restored films to Italian cinemas.

Services include archival preservation of film, photographic and documentary collections, and the Renzo Renzi library specialised in cinema and photography. Education programmes cover children, schools and teachers, as well as advanced courses for professionals. The Archivio Renato Zangheri (ARZ) of cinema and photography is a more recent space in the foundation's network.
