Utopie e piccole soddisfazioni

Utopie e piccole soddisfazioni (translation: Utopias and small satisfactions) is the third studio album by the Italian one-man band Bologna Violenta, a project of Nicola Manzan, released in 2012 by Wallace Records.

Like the previous Il Nuovissimo Mondo, the album consists of short pieces and is almost entirely instrumental. Only two songs are sung: "You're enough" involved J. Randall of Agoraphobic Nosebleed, and "Valium Tavor Serenase" (a cover version of a song by CCCP - Fedeli alla linea, from the album Affinità-Divergenze fra il Compagno Togliatti e Noi), is sung by Aimone Romizi of Fast Animals And Slow Kids.
