https://www.francescaniperlacultura.it/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/01_Biblioteca-San-Francesco-Bologna.jpg16001200The San Francesco Library is located in the great hall on the southern side of the Basilica of the same name and forms the western side of the cloister known as the “Cloister of the Dead”. It was built in the 13th century as the convent’s “old” refectory and, in the following century, was frescoed by Francesco da Rimini with scenes from the life of Christ and of Saint Francis.
