Most of what we saw in Bologna were the churches below. Time ran out, and we didn't get in the art museum with its whole room devoted to Guido Reni, a favorite. We'll do better next time, allowing a full two days.
 |
| On the Via dell Indepenza, Holy Telecommunications |
 |
| Bologna Cathedral |
 |
It took us two tries to see this one, scrambling in and out
between masses; it's large, reputedly the 5th largest (they
all say that), Gothic |
 |
| Its main sights are this 38 meter sundial contraption |
 |
Thus, which led to the discovery that the
solar year is actualy 1/4 day longer than 365 |
 |
And this beautifully-frescoed chapel, which
was closed because of the ongoing services |
 |
| St. Petronius himself across the piazza |
 |
| Next,the Chiesa San Domenico |
 |
| A bit Baroque nowadays |
 |
| Nave view |
 |
Notable largely for this incredible Pisano sarcophagus; the
candle-holding angel on the right was done by a very young
Michaelangelo |
