Via dell'Archiginnasio

On your left there is Palazzo dell'Archiginnasio on your right, a sliver of the Basilica to San Petronio.
Construction started on the Basilica in 1390 - alla Sagrada Familia style - they were still building it in 1514 when a new architect was brought on to build the dome. Legend has it that Pope Pius IV halted the construction of the "megalomaniac dream" and encouraged the building of the Archiginnasio.
The Archiginnasio is one of the most important buildings in Bologna. It was the main hub of the University it now houses the Anatomical Theatre and The Archeological Museum.
We got the Archiginnasio but the Basilica has never been finished. 😂

Guess it’s time to do an #introduction: We are a passion project of @ernie, in which he writes about and highlights offbeat #history, often in the #retro, #tech, and #obscure realms of the world. We go long, and are somehow unashamed of that fact. And we somehow manage to publish a lot, too.
