Mensagem de Valeria

Just a few steps away from Piazza Cavour, you will find another square: Piazza San Domenico, hosting a large church of the same name. The church and the adjacent convent were founded by Saint Dominic, a Spanish priest and founder of the Dominican order - he is, in fact, buried there. By the way, did you know that he is considered the patron saint of astronomers? Many elements in the church actually recall this connection, so you can easily spot celestial bodies and astronomical calendars there. Most importantly, however, is the fact that this church conserves two important (albeit quite small!) statues by Michelangelo, created during his brief stay in Bologna, together with other works by prominent Italian artists, such as Nicola Pisano, Filippo Lippi, Guercino, and Ludovico Carracci. For all music and history lovers, you can even look for the organ once played by Mozart himself, when young Wolfgang was spending his time in Bologna, studying for an entry exam to the Philharmonic Academy of Bologna! The organ is found in the Cappella del Rosario, on the right side of it.
