I must add a small observation here: in Italy it is quite ok to give the same name to several streets in one city….
To put it briefly, after a long bus drive we found ourselves in front of this beautiful field somewhere in the suburbs of Bologna.
And the museum I have found half a year later, during my next stay in Italy. It is quite interesting by the way (although I didn’t come to understand anything about modern art).
