Museo Davia Bargellini
This palace museum on Strada Maggiore mixes paintings with the objects of everyday and decorative life in old Bologna. It suits visitors curious about crafted things beyond a conventional picture gallery.
The collection moves from paintings to ceramics, furniture, metalwork and small theatrical or domestic objects, showing the range of craft once used around the city. The Baroque palace is part of the visit: two sculpted giants flank its entrance, and an elaborate staircase leads inward. The combination makes the building as revealing as its displays.
