Crafts and Shopping

The heart of Bologna is not only beats between the red of its buildings and the play of shadows and lights of the arcades, but also in the old artisan workshops which peep out from the streets of the historic center.
What going to look around and what to buy?
The latest trend in the field of crafts, small shops are the restoration and maintenance of works of art. Over the past several years we have flourished, so much so that one could almost speak of a new school in Bologna. Is about a thousand years, yet manages to keep up with the latest designs.
Bologna is the art work of copper, silver and gold. One of the medieval streets between those who depart from Piazza Maggiore (the side of the arcades dell'Archiginnasio) it is even called Via degli Orefici, in honor of the town corporation, and is still full of goldsmiths shops.
Among the most fascinating are the workshops of master violin makers. In their skillful hands materialize violins, guitars, lutes and ocarinas hand-built and many musical instruments such as pianos, will be treated, restored and reborn hand.

If you want to capture the essence of Bologna, you have to start the exploration on this: from Piazza Maggiore.
There is San Petronio, one of the largest Catholic churches in the world, with the meridian of the Cassini (1665): spy fun on the sun that this appointment on the pink marble floor.
There Palazzo d 'Accursio - more than a municipal building is a fortress, with towers and crenellated walls - with the statue of Gregory XIII who blesses passersby.
If you want to see something special, there are three or four things not to miss. Meanwhile, from the inner courtyard of Palazzo D 'Accursio, climb the grand staircase. On the first floor are the frescoed Sala Hercules and the Red Room with windows overlooking the square. On the second floor of the Municipal Art Collection, an exciting Museo Morandi (Bologna in the collection was donated by the sister of the famous painter of bottles), the Hall and the Chapel Farnese.
However, if revenue from the entrance of the Piazza Nettuno, you will dive in the Sala Borsa, a striking space with balconies, marble floors and frescoed vaults of glass from which you can see the Roman Forum 's old "Bononia", home to a busy public library, with many internet stations and one of the largest media libraries of Europe, open seven days a week, from 9.00 to 24.00.

Il Territorio

t is the poetry of some arcaded squares, small baroque churches springing up suddenly on a road to certain speakers or abandoned in the countryside. O little-known museums that actually hold the treasures. The photograph of the Bologna area is this: The charm of small details.
Maybe the problem is another: having to choose an itinerary of art, the choice is difficult because every town has ancient roots and almost always noble.
In the plains there are gems such as San Giovanni in Persiceto flavor with Renaissance and Baroque architecture. The first thing you see is surely the Collegiate Church of St. Giovanni Battista di Paolo Maria Canals, built in the late seventeenth century, the ancient Romanesque church that gave the village its name. Inside offers a parade of beautiful paintings by artists such as Guercino, Francesco Albani, Ercole Graziani and Ubaldo Gandolfi.E who if they ever expect, making a quiet and relaxed walk in the Lower east of the Via Emilia, to intercept such places as Pieve di Cento with a fourteenth-century fortress, near the square with the chain locker, which houses the civic museum and has been designed by the same designer of San Petronio?
Then again, some evenings Budrio in dense fog seems an enchanted village, suspended in nothingness, but it's stronger than ever. In its historical center preserves many traces of the splendor lived over the centuries. Just look at the beautiful Palazzo Boriani from Walnut. Or its baroque churches: one name for all, that of San Lorenzo. Budrio is a small city of art with an Art Gallery, an Archaeological Museum, but also a lively theater consortium that draws spectators from across the province.
Small places, but very charming medieval medicine are then (so called because it occurred miraculous cures) and Castel Guelph. Here the old center of town is a true classic mansion, with walls and round towers and battlements, so well preserved that when a rider passed on the street seems like a perfectly normal thing. The same feeling you get to Castel del Rio, climbed in a harsh and beautiful Apennines to Tuscany Imola: have all the air of the beautiful estate that was.
Imola in the district there are at least three other gems: Castel San Pietro, Dozza and Imola. And as fortresses should just go see Minehead (so named by the Romans as the place sacred to Minerva), with the stately castle, the Palace of the Islanders, the Castle of S. Martin and the town's streets Visconti. In other words, stories and ideas of principles, ladies, artists and saints.
But how ordinary people lived? Among the many museums, two are a bit 'special: they are that of Farming of Bentivoglio in San Marino and the puppet museum in the world's smallest Crevalcore.
One final curiosity, which is difficult cilmente cited: the tiny village of Selva Malvezzi in Moline. It is a seventeenth-century village almost intact, the houses and the old pharmacy aggregated around the ancient palace of the governor.
