While crowds of tourists fill Venice, Florence and Rome, Bologna remains relatively quiet in comparison. This medieval university town is charming, historic and fun to explore… and you'll find Bologna's local cuisine is light-years away from the American deli meat bearing the city's name.

The Albergati Palace dates back to the 1500’s and today inside its impressive exterior frontage it houses an art gallery which holds changing art installations and exhibitions. We had a wet weather day whilst in town so decided to visit here for the Warhol & Friends exhibition which chronicles the work of Andy Warhol and other influential artists of the New York City’s art scene during the period of the 1980s. The exhibition is spread over two floors and includes several works by artists of the period such as Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Julian Schnabel, Jeff Koons as well as several Warhol pieces. It was well presented and laid out and this is a fine period building in which to visit an art exhibition.

Belloni Palace hosts art and culture exhibitions of art with a format that makes the visitor the protagonist of the visit, stimulating interaction and participation in all the way. From 24 November 2017 to 6 May 2018, Palazzo Belloni hosts the exhibition "The WALL". The exhibition depicts the concept of the wall: from symbol of incommunicability and exclusion to its use as a cultural operation that opens to multiple perspectives. Each of these dimensions is explored through interactive installations that have been specially created for the exhibition and with themed artwork by artists of different ages, from Piranesi to Arnaldo Pomodoro, from Fontana to Christo, and from Pink Floyd to the young Japanese artist Hitomi Sato. The journey of exploration goes around and inside the wall, on a historical itinerary from the walls of Jericho to the Berlin Wall, and to the walls of the modern day depicted in the exhibition. The exhibition is curated by con-fine Art.
