Due to Covid 19 the Pinacoteca N di Bologna was only partially open. We support the arts so had a little wander and we enjoyed it so next time we will definitely have a good look around.

This wonderful gallery of 13-18th century Italian art was one of the absolute highlights of our visit to Bologna. A whole room is dedicated to Giotto, which we enjoyed mostly by ourselves, as was the case with the Raphael paintings. There is also a stunning room dedicated to the paintings of Leonardo da Vinci's contemporary Guido Reni, where one can see paintings spanning his career, the only painting not by Reni being a portrait of him.

There are lockers in the basement (1 euro returnable).

This is a wonderful museum if you are interested in religious art. The best I’ve been to. It is very well organised. The staff are also pleasant which is a bonus these days!!!

Rather nice Museum. While there are many not very interesting paintings in the first 15 rooms, to me the Reni room and a painting by Raffaelo were great.
