Far beyond being known as the bon vivants of Italy thanks to Bologna’s reputation for good eating and life-enjoyment, the people of Bologna are also well regarded for their high standard of education and an indisputable love for art and aesthetics, to start with their home furnishings: be the special guests at Renzo Savini’s private home-museum and you will check this out! https://www.casamuseorenzosavini.it/en/

After leaving the local guide, our driver will take you directly to that very special dwelling, where the current-day owners will welcome you with a nice glass paired with finger food in Bologna’s style before unveiling the sophisticated antiquities and the incredible and manifold art & curiosities collection gathered by Prof. Savini throughout his long life following a farsighted and trend-setting mode: from ancient painters’ sketches to baroque Nativity creches, from ultra-precious manuscripts to children puppets and ancient chemists’ jars, the home is a real Wunderkammer…and the maze garden a true hidden gem!

Once the visit will be over, the driver will take you back to town.
