The paintings in the oratory, started in 1505, were entrusted to the most well-known artists of the Bentivoglio court, such as Francesco Francia, Lorenzo Costa and Amico Aspertini, and they were completed by less famous artists. For real art lovers, this little jewel has been opened to the public again only in 1998, after years of oblivion.

The Tagliavini collection consists in more than seventy musical instruments from 16th to the 20th century: it's composed principally by harpsichords, but also organs and wind instruments. It's a unique place because historical instruments are restored and actually played.
Also, the Oratorio's architecture and frescos are worth a visit.

Built to emulate the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, this complex consists of several churches built in different historical period. The result is impressive, and although not majestic as San Petronio or San Pietro, Santo Stefano is probably the most beloved church by locals. It might be its magical atmosphere, where time seems to be suspended.

Climbing on the Campanile of S. Pietro is easier and faster than going on Torre Asinelli a few stairs and then a ripid path but easy to walk (a bit narrow); once on the top you'll have a 360° view on Bologna and on beautiful days you'll see all the hills from a different point of view.

The most famous place of Bologna hills is S. Luca with its church, but you can't actually see Bologna from there. Moreover the walk to San Michele in Bosco is shorter, the area is very lovely and when coming down you can also visit the most important garden/park of the town, Giardini Margherita.

Some of the most important artists of the 20th have at least passed from here, creating a space of innovation and creative boost.
