★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Dominiert von edlen Palazzi aus dem 13. bis 16. Jahrhundert. Großes hatte man damals vor,- die Basilika San Petronio sollte einmal den Petersdom in den Schatten stellen. Doch wie so oft, kam der Größenwahn nicht zur Vollendung. Man sieht Bauprotz, wie die Elbphilharmonie oder Berliner Flughafen, gab es schon im historischen Italien. Dafür hat der Bologneser Papst Gregor XIII., den Kalender reformiert und das Schaltjahr erfunden. Hinter der Piazza Maggiore steht der schlüpfrige Neptunbrunnen, mit den verliebten Sirenen, aus deren Brüsten das Wasser schießt. Die Italiener wieder, warum wundert uns das wohl nicht… ;-)
 Dominated by noble palazzi from the 13th to 16th centuries. At that time they had big plans - the Basilica of San Petronio should one day put St.Peter's Basilica in the shade. But as so often, the megalomania never came to an end. You can see building blocks like the Elbphilharmonie or Berlin Airport, which already existed in historic Italy. The Bolognese Pope Gregory XIII reformed the calendar and invented the leap year. Behind the Piazza Maggiore stands the slippery Neptune Fountain, with the amorous sirens, from whose breasts the water shoots. The Italians again, why are we not surprised ... ;-)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Palazzo dei Banchi si affaccia su piazza Maggiore, il nome deriva dalla presenza, anticamente, di ‘banchi’ dei cambiavalute. In realtà si tratta di una facciata scenografica per mascherare le viuzze del mercato retrostante. Progettato da Jacopo Barozzi detto il Vignola, risale alla seconda metà del XVI secolo. La facciata si basa su quindici archi, di cui due permettono il passaggio alle vie Clavature e Pescherie vecchie.
Palazzo dei Banchi overlooks Piazza Maggiore, the name derives from the presence, in ancient times, of 'banks' of money changers. In reality it is a scenographic facade to mask the alleys of the market behind it. Designed by Jacopo Barozzi known as Vignola, it dates back to the second half of the 16th century. The facade is based on fifteen arches, two of which allow passage to the old Clavature and Pescherie streets.
