After being appointed senator, Lorenzo Magnani commissioned the building construction at the end of the 16th century. A testament to his family's social status, it was erected between 1577 and 1583, following the design planned by architect Domenico Tibaldi, later replaced by Floriano Ambrosini.
In 1959, the bank Credito Romagnolo acquired the property and, in 1997, started a meticulous and thorough restoration project. They aimed to re-establish the original architectural layout reinstating the building's symbolic and representative significance. Currently, Palazzo Magnani houses one of the many offices of the UniCredit Group, showcasing a remarkable collection of paintings. Known as the Quadreria Palazzo Magnani, it includes works of art primarily from the Bolognese school, from the 16th to the 20th century.
This museum boasts an exceptional collection of canvasses assembled over the years. Visitors can immerse themselves in the beauty of these rooms, which preserve artworks from the Emilian region ranging from the 16th to the 20th century, all free of charge. This arrangement enables to share the magnificence of these works with the city's inhabitants.
