===Bologna=== Benedict planned on moving the papacy to Bologna by 1 October 1335.{{efn|According to [[Enrico Castelnuovo]] and Alessio Monciatti.{{sfn|Theis|2018|p=111}}}} He even hired, in August 1335, Jean Poisson to supervise repairs to [[St. Peter's Basilica|St. Peter]], St. Paul basilicas, and the papal palace in Rome.{{sfn|Theis|2018|p=111-112}} The cost ran into several thousand florins.{{sfn|Theis|2018|p=112}} Valerie Theis, states the construction in Rome may have been a way of Benedict disguising his true intention of settling permanently in Avignon.{{sfn|Theis|2018|p=112}} Consequently, in 1335, he ordered the construction of the [[Palais des Papes]] in [[Avignon]], which was finished under [[Pope Clement VI]].{{sfn|Pluger|2003|p=198}}
