Casa Lucio Dalla, at Via d'Azeglio 15 in Bologna, is the former home and creative world of the Italian singer-songwriter. Near the Basilica of San Petronio, its rooms bring together personal objects, paintings, sculptures and portraits made by artist friends. Look for Stanza Caruso and the small Studio di Lucio, where a fragment of the Berlin Wall recalls a song inspired by two lovers on opposite sides of the city. Booking ahead is sensible because tickets can be difficult to get.
