THE APARTMENTS FOR RENTAL
The historic centre of Bologna is a delight to explore, and better still when you can return to your very own 'palace' after a day of seeing the sights. With its grand entrance arch and wrought-iron gates, the inner court-yard provides access to the individual apartments. Casa Lupari still features a small chapel that is dedicated to St Ludovico Morbioli (1433-1485), who actually lived here in in late 1400.
If you have an eye and an interest for historical architecture, you will delight in the many architectural features that date from the XIV Century, which indicate the wealth and importance of the Lupari family that commissioned and lived in this building for many generations.
