Visit Palazzo Cini, a refined house-museum beside a Venetian canal. Take in Renaissance paintings and sculpture on the first floor, then climb to rooms recalling Casanova's time in the city.
Full description
Galleria di Palazzo Cini is a house-museum in a canal-side palace, holding the core of a major Italian collector's art collection. Reviewers highlight small but high-quality Tuscan paintings and sculpture from the Renaissance, alongside a first-floor section with a religious focus and a second-floor display on Casanova's Venetian years.
Its intimate scale suits a quiet, unhurried visit of about 45 minutes, particularly for solo visitors with an interest in early Italian art. The museum is closed on Mondays.
