They had a featured exhibition at that time. It was the re-vitalizing a painting of Da Vinci. They showed the process of cleaning the painting plus a analysis of the way Da Vinci made the painting. Very information and interesting.

This was the last day we stayed in Firenze. Our dinner had to be Florence steak. We went to Trattoria Dall' Oste. This one is well rated by tourist and close to the train station. Food yummy and friendly atmosphere. Food portion is big, the smallest order for Florence steak is 1kg.

Our next stop is Bologna. A quiet city. The old city area is a bit farther from the train station, but we still stay at a hotel close to the train station. This is because we will take an early train on the next day to San Marino. Besides, we did not want to walk a long with with large bags.
We chose this hotel based on review on internet. Most people said that the breakfast of this hotel was wonderful. In fact it was just a usually buffet breakfast in hotel, saying it a full breakfast merely because the usual breakfast in Italy is only coffee and bread.
Room is quite spacious and decent, not bad.

After we checked in, we walked to the old city of Bologna, it took about 15 minutes but the route was not boring. The street we walked was like Nathan Road in HK, lots of shops. At the end of the street is the Piazza Maggiore (first picture), the old citycenter of Bologna.
We went to see the Fontana del Nettuno (Fountain of Neptune) but it was under repair. (second one)
The old palace, church and government office surrounds the Piazza. The third one is the palace.

A few minutes walk further from the Piazza is the University of Bologna, some said that this was the first university of the world. We went to see the Teatro Anatomico, this place held the anatomy lesson in the old days.
The corridor to the theatre is well decorated with symbols and paintings.
Inside the theater, an Apollo statue at the ceiling to look down the table for dissection. All furnishes are wooden with some old scripts and books shown in a glass casing.
