The Hotel Il Guercino takes his name from the XVII century painter G.F. Barbieri, who was called Il Guercino because of his marked squint. He contributed, with his original and self-taught painting, to the important historical-artisitc period belonging to I Carracci, Guido Reni, Domenichino, Francesco Albani, Alessandro Tiarini and to many other protagonists of classical revival of italian painting.

It is not by chance that the hotel is in via Luigi Serra (he was a painter, too), in a quiet area, behind the railway station, whose streets recall the names of the distinguished mentioned artists.

The hotel Il Guercino is situated in the historical centre of Bologna, only 500 metres from the railway station and 1.5 km from the exhibition centre.

The Bologna-Guglielmo Marconi airport is around 8 km away from the hotel. Take the Aerobus shuttle to the central station.
