Charles V Enters Bologna
1529
The emperor arrived in Bologna to be crowned by the pope, traveling with a train of thousands and a menagerie that included an elephant. The city strained to feed them. The coronation, the last of a pope crowning an emperor, symbolized a brief reconciliation between imperial authority and Roman spiritual prestige.
