ANATOMICAL THEATER OF ARCHIGINNASIO - LIBRARYTEATRO ANATOMICO DELL'ARCHIGINNASIO - BIBLIOTECA
Work by the Bolognese architect Antonio Morandi known as Terribilia, the Archiginnasio building began to be built in 1562 by express wish of the Papal Legate cardinal Carlo Borromeo with the aim of giving a single place for university teaching.
Externally the building develops with a long portico of 30 arches, on two floors, around a central courtyard with double order of lodges.
On the upper floor there were 10 classrooms (now the Library's books) and 2 lecture halls on the wings of the building, one for the Artists (today the Library Reading Room) and one for the Legists (later also the Sala dello Stabat) Mater, which can be visited).
Until 1803 it was precisely a university; then it became an elemntare school to become since 1838, seat of the Library.
On the ground floor some of the ancient classrooms are occupied by the Medical Surgical Society and the Academy of Agriculture, in the courtyard, very beautiful, to visit also the Chapel of S. Maria dei Bulgari and the staircase with the "memories", works of art dedicated to important scientists of the University of Bologna.
Among the various rooms perhaps the most interesting and the one called Theater for the characteristic form of an amphitheater, built in 1637 for anatomical lessons by the Bolognese architect Antonio Paolucci known as the Levanti, schoolboy of the Carracci.
All in fir wood and decorated with two orders of statues representing twelve famous doctors (including Hippocrates, Galen, Marcello Malpighi) and the most famous anatomists of the Bolognese studio.
The front in the lane. The Rizzoli in the rear of the Great War.
Il fronte in corsia. Il Rizzoli nella retrovia della Grande Guerra.

I caratteri di Francesco Griffo [ended]
In 1517 the last known edition of Francesco Griffo was printed in Bologna, protagonist, together with Aldo Manuzio, of the extraordinary invention of the cursive character.
Recurring the 500 years since that date, the Archiginnasio Library, in collaboration with the State Archives of Bologna, dedicates an exhibition to the Bolognese master of the ars artificialiter scribendi. within the event Griffo the great party of the letters.
Francesco Griffo, also known as Francesco da Bologna, returned to his hometown in the last part of his life - after having long worked as a carver of characters in various Italian cities for many printers-publishers, including Aldo Manuzio for whom he created famous cursive - he started his printing company in Bologna in 1516, focusing on the sure commercial success of a series of real best sellers of his time (poetry and love stories, a collection of memorable facts and sayings, the classic model of epistolary writing) in very small format editions - the 24th long - and therefore inexpensive for both the printer and the buyers. Books of mass consumption and for this reason hardly preserved and consequently, today, very rare.
Exhibition curated by Pierangelo Bellettini, Rita De Tata and Anna Manfron.
