Museo Pinacoteca Canonicale

Next to the Biblioteca Capitolare we find the Museo Pinacoteca Canonicale which is one of the most important museums in Europe thanks to the extent and antiquity of its collections. Inside there are some considerable collections of paintings and also stone sculptures, with the latter being on display in the main room, the most notable being a relief model representing "SS Ermagora e Fortunato," executed in 1120 by a maestro from Como together with the "Arcangelo Michele" by a Veronese artist, from the first half of the 1300's. Further along we come across an exhibition of paintings mainly from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The main pieces include the "Madonna col Bambino coronata da angeli"(Madonna with child surrounded by angels) by Nicoli Solimani, the "Madonna allattante" (Breastfeeding Madonna) and the "Madonna col Bambino" (Madonna with child) by Liberale da Verona and the "Nativita" (Nativity ) by Nicolo Giolfino.
