Chiesa di Santa Maria della Visitazione

The SS Naborre and Felice Abbey (where S. Zama’s Crypt is kept) has also been the site of Bologna’s Military Hospital. During the 3rd century, in this site, already existed the first and most important Christian diffusion center. It is said that the first archibishop in Bologna, around the year 270, had improved the preexisting church, dedicating it to St. Peter The Crypt is stylistically referable around the 11th century: it is subdivided in three naves, with three apses and with two rows of columns in the middle nave. The four columns before the altar are in Corinthian style, most likely deriving from elder constructions and reused here.

Established in 1971, the Lercaro's Collection owes its existence to a group of artworks donated to Cardinal Lercaro (1891-1976) on his eightieth birthday by some artists in recognition of his promotion of the arts. This first donation was soon followed by many others by various different artists who wished to show their respect to the Cardinal. The collection has never been confined to sacred art. It includes masterpieces by Giacomo Manzu, Arturo Martini and other sculptures by Adolfo Wildt, Francesco Messina, Eugenio Pellini and Vittorio Tavernari. Finally, an extensive selection of paintings and graphic arts, including works by Giacomo Balla, Giorgio Morandi, Filippo de Pisis, Renato Guttuso, Emilio Ambron and many others, are also on view.
