The works of all the great masters of the Renaissance are on display and welcome and invite each visitor to partake in a world of creative genius, where it becomes difficult to tell where the brush stroke has ended and human flesh begins.

You can choose to finish your day here, grabbing an apperitivo while you fuss over the photos you have taken or finally…
