| This palazzo was the residence-museum of Vittorio Cini, where some of the greatest collections of 15th and 16th century Tuscan and Ferrarese paintings, furniture, silver, ivory and ceramic objects, are displayed. This 16th century palazzo, formerly owned by the Caldagno and Valmarana families, is located halfway between the Accademia and the Guggenheim. On his death, in 1977, Vittorio Cini left his marvellous art collections in this palazzo, currently used as a gallery. The antique furnishings and art valuables, on the first piano nobile, recreate the building’s original character and the personal taste of this great collector. The second piano nobile is reserved for temporary exhibitions. |
