Just steps from the Four Seasons Hotel, this small museum was the passion project of two brothers, Fausto and Giuseppe Bagatti Valsecchi, who used their family fortune to create a special residence in the heart of the city that celebrates Renaissance style, art and artifacts. The family inhabited the mansions until 1974, when they donated their family treasures to the city as a foundation, and in 1994, one section of the houses was opened to the public in its preserved state. Among the remarkable collections are a hall of armour, paintings by Renaissance masters and bedrooms with antique furniture and textiles.
