Story · Pinacoteca nazionale di Bologna

You're standing at the Pinacoteca Nazionale of Bologna, on Via delle Belle Arti, right in the city's university district. Have a look at the building in front of you. It was once a Jesuit novitiate dedicated to Saint Ignatius, built by architect Alfonso Torreggiani in 1726. Today it's shared by the museum and the Academy of Fine Arts. So looking at art and making art happen under the same roof.
