Museo Davia Bargellini
Housed inside the Baroque palace of Palazzo Davia Bargellini, the Museo Davia Bargellini is one of Bologna’s most atmospheric cultural spaces. Built in the 17th century for the noble Bargellini family, the palace now preserves an exceptional blend of fine art and decorative objects. Established in 1924, the museum combines an intact historic picture gallery with collections of applied arts, creating the impression of an elegant 18th‑century residence. Visitors encounter paintings by Bolognese masters alongside ceramics, wrought‑iron work, furniture, marionettes and ornate household objects, forming an eclectic collection that evokes everyday life and craftsmanship in old Bologna. Its richly decorated halls and rare surviving assemblage of local artefacts make it a distinctive destination for anyone exploring the city’s artistic heritage.

It stands on the stretch of Strada Maggiore that leads towards Porta Maggiore, within the eastern section of the medieval centre and close to several important sites, including the Basilica of Santa Maria dei Servi and the university area.
