Nikola Vlasic leveled for Torino in the 62nd minute, finishing after Lukasz Skorupski parried a Duvan Zapata shot.
Santiago Castro restored Bologna’s lead in the 70th minute with his seventh league goal, turning in Federico Bernardeschi’s pass days after signing a new contract.
The victory halts Bologna’s four-match Serie A losing streak that followed a Coppa Italia exit on penalties to Lazio, easing immediate pressure on Vincenzo Italiano.
An ongoing boycott by Torino supporters protesting president Urbano Cairo left the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino sparsely attended.
