This rooms hosts some Bolognese and Emilian artworks of the XIIIth and XIVth centuries: from Vitale da Bologna (documented since 1330 - dead before 1361) which with the expressive strength of his paintings marks the Emilian XIVth century art, in opposition to the well-measured elegance of the Tuscany production of the same age, up to the so called "Maestro dei Polittici bolognesi" (or Psudo-Jacopino), a bolognese painter working between 1320 and 1330, with his strongly narrative style, so distant from the abstract manner of the religious representation of the time.

The exposition begins with a Crucifix from the Santa Maria del Borgo church, artwoks attributed to an unknown artist close to Giunta Pisano; continues prosegue with the Vitale da Bologna's St. George and the Dragon, and with other paintings of the same artist, up to the polyptich with the Dormitio Virginis and the one with the Presentation at the Temple by the "Maestro dei Polittici bolognesi".
