Aula Magna was designed by Rainaldi for the Jesuits 1659. An ambitious enlargement project failed due to spiralling costs and their suppression late 1700s. Inside are baroque religious sculptures and a statue by Mazza from 1700s. It’s now a conference room for Bologna University, also hosting an exhibition of the Students European Museum.
