Corte Isolani, Lombard courtyard in Bologna, Italy
The covered passage of Corte Isolani connects Strada Maggiore with Piazza Santo Stefano through a succession of small inner courtyards and commercial spaces.
The oak beams in Casa Isolani's portico, dating from the 13th century, reach 9 meters in height and support the building's third floor.
The passage includes art galleries, restaurants, fashion boutiques, and craft workshops that represent local merchants and artisans.
The courtyard opens daily and provides direct access between two main streets while offering protection from rain and sun under its porticoes.
Three arrows remain embedded in the wooden ceiling of the portico, connected to a tale about archers who missed their target in medieval times.
