National Gallery (Bologna)

Italy / Emilia-Romagna / Bologna / Via delle Belle Arti, 56
 museum, art museum / art gallery

The collection of paintings began in 1796 and had its first nucleus in the works coming from churches and monasteries which were abolished by the Napoleonic administration. In 1808 the collection was moved to the present location, the former St. Ignazio Monastery in via Belle Arti. After Napoleon's fall in 1815 the Picture Gallery got almost all the paintings that were moved from the city to Paris and Milan by the Napoleonic administration. www.bolognawelcome.com/en/places-to-see/history-art/par...
