Riassunto

The Museum, which houses the works of art donated by the collector, Gian Giacomo Poldi Pezzoli (1822-1879), "for public use and benefit", is one of the most important Italian artistic institutions. This guide provides all the essential information about the museum and its contents and accompanies the visitor on a journey from one room to the next and from one group of objects to the next in search of the artistic passions of Gian Giacomo Poldi Pezzoli. It is a unique privilege to be able to admire these outstanding masterpieces in the house for which they were acquired: the arms and armour, carpets, tapestries, the library, the chests of drawers filled with lace and antique fabric, the Meissen porcelain, Chinese and Greek vases, clocks and watches, the Murano glassware and small Renaissance bronzes, Islamic metalwork, furniture and sculptures, the Jewellery Room with its enamels, miniatures and jewels and, naturally, the gallery of paintings which includes celebrated works by Piero della Francesca, Mantegna, Foppa, Pollaiuolo, Botticelli, Cosme Tura, Fra Galgario, Guardi, Tiepolo and Canaletto, up to the nineteenth century.
