Museo d'arte

The castle of the Scaligeri family was converted into a museum in 1925. Since then it has hosted important collections of works of art in its rooms. These include sculptures from the XIV and XV centuries, tables from Medieval times through to the XVIII century, as well as jewellery, miniature paintings, clothes and arms. In the first room there are display of Romanesque Veronese sculture and some particularly interesting items: including the so-called "Treasure of Rizza Island" from the fourteenth century. The second, third and fourth rooms are all full of Scaligeri sculptures from the Fourteenth century. In the fifth room they display fifteenth century works of art. Rooms 9-10 diplay frescoes from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. In room 11 there is a presentation of international Gothic art. The next rooms, connected to the upper floors, exhibit paintings by Veronese and Venetian artists from the Renaissance including Liberale, Giolfino, Morone and Falconetto. The Venetian masters from the sixteenth century are all in room 22. In the next rooms there are collections from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
