Palazzo d\' Accursio
The Palazzo d' Accursio , also called Palazzo Communal , located on the Piazza Maggiore, is the current town hall of the town of Bologna. It also accommodates the Musée Morandi
The palate is actually an assembly of buildings which were plain during the centuries, and which was in the beginning the residence of François Accurse ( Francesco Accursio ), lawyer and Master of right to the Université of Bologna. In 1136 it became the residence of the Anziani , then thereafter the seat of the government of the city.
At the 15th century, Fioravante Fioravanti increases the palate with the addition, amongst other things, of the clock of the Torre d' Accursio . The building was also modified in the first years of the 16th century after the fall of the Bentivoglio S.
Inside, the palate preserves the memory of the historical events and policy of the town of Bologna. On the first floor, where is current the room of the town council , are frescos painted by Angelo Michele Colonna and Gioacchino Pizzoli between the 1675 and 1677. It is on the second floor, that the room Farnese is located, in which the emperor Charles Quint was crowned in 1530, where decoration recalls the vicissitudes of the city of the Moyen-âge to the 17th century.
