Palazzo Felicini

Erected in 1497 by Bartolomeo Felicini, it is one of the most significant examples of Renaissance art in Bologna.
The portico is characterised by round arches supported by brick pillars which culminate in contrasting Corinthian capitals. Below the portico is the imposing door dating back to the period in which the palazzo was built.
The upper section of the façade is distinguished by the two-sided, centred windows at the top resting on a string course, and the oculi in the attic, which also have a frame below, all in finely decorated terracotta.
In 1906, the building underwent major restoration by the Comitato per Bologna Storica e Artistica curated by Alfonso Rubbiani, who restored the building to its original splendour.
