Davia Bargellini Museum, Art museum in Strada Maggiore, Bologna, Italy.

The museum occupies Palazzo Davia Bargellini, a baroque palace with two giant telamons sculpted in 1658 flanking its entrance on Strada Maggiore.

Francesco Malaguzzi Valeri established the museum in 1926 by combining the Davia Bargellini family art collection with the municipal industrial art collection.

The collection features paintings from the 14th to 18th centuries, including works by Vitale da Bologna, Prospero Fontana, and Lavinia Fontana.

The museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 to 13:00, Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 to 18:30, with free admission for all visitors.

The museum displays an 18th-century puppet theater with Venetian marionettes and a Berlin-style carriage decorated with cardinal virtues allegories.
