About
In Bologna, Italy, the National Art Gallery of Bologna is housed in the former Saint Ignatius Jesuit novitiate of the city's University district, inside the same building that houses the Academy of Fine Arts.
The Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna preserves paintings that allow us to follow the history of Bolognese painting, from the beginning of the fourteenth century to the end of the eighteenth century, focusing on the masterpieces of the "Bologna school" of the seventeenth century (Carracci, Reni and Guercino), but also Giotto's and Raphael's masterpieces, which provide insight into the development of Italian art in general.
