Escape to myself

This is a is a splendid place. The seat of the old university and still in use as it houses the rare book collection of the university and also the Stabat Mater room which is used for some lectures. Redolent with learning and the researches of great minds of the past. It also contains the Teatro Anatomico … the theatre where lectures and demonstrations and dissections of anatomy were given. Bologna was a celebrated medical school.

Stabat Mater Room

Teatro Anatomico

This a wonderful place. I thoroughly recommend a visit here. Well worth €3

An aside … loving the way Max Mara and other shops occupy the lower floor of the Archiginnasio
