Santa Maria della Carità
A compact church stop for Annibale Carracci's early Crucifixion and a set of Baroque paintings. It fits an art-focused walk through western central Bologna.
The main reason to enter is Carracci's Crucifixion, painted when he was young and displayed in the first chapel on the left. Other chapel paintings make the church more than a single-work detour, while its later additions show how the interior changed over time. It is a manageable stop for visitors tracing Bologna's painters through the city.
What to look for
Carracci's early Crucifixion stands in the first chapel on the left.
Other chapels hold works by painters including Marcantonio Franceschini and Felice Cignani.
Useful to know
Head to the first chapel on the left if Carracci's painting is your priority.
Check church access before a dedicated trip, as services can interrupt sightseeing.
