What to do and see in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna: The Best Art Galleries
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.

I haven't been to this shop in probably 8 years, but just came across one of the etchings I purchased there and happened to find a little tag in it. I thought I would look it up to see if there is any chance they had an online shop, and found so many mentions of it! I used to go to Bologna fairly regularly for a show, and made sure that I went to this shop every time. She is kind and friendly, and her pieces are beautiful, some whimsical, and all amazing, I quickly realized when seeing just a few large pieces and almost all small pieces, paired with her working over a magnifying glass, that she must prefer small detail to large surfaces. I asked her and she very quietly said "oh yes!" We have just 3 small pieces and they are all treasured. This shop is like a small museum, where you simply cannot stop flipping to see her amazing work, and must leave with some pieces of your own!

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.
