Santa Lucia is a large, deconsecrated Roman Catholic church, located on Via Castiglione #36 in central Bologna. The building's brick facade was never completed; however, the Jesuits, owners of the church for over two centuries, decorated the interior with Baroque chapels, aligned along a spacious nave. For over a century, after suppression of the church, the building had multiple secular uses, as a barracks, warehouse, training workshop, and even a gym. But since a restoration in 1986–1986, the building has been used as the main assembly hall (aula magna) for the University of Bologna.[1]
