Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Venezia Roma
Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Venezia, The museum is divided into three large sections, following the architectural flow of the Palace. 1. The Cybo Apartment: This section offers a rich array of objects from the medieval era subdivided into geographical areas. Within the collection are paintings from the 13th-18th centuries, including works by Pisanello, Sansovino and Giorgione. One room of the apartment has been installed with a frescoed ceiling from 1553 by Giorgio Vasari, recovered from the Loggia of Palazzo Altoviti, torn down in 1888 to make way for the Tiber river embankment. 2. Palazetto Venezia: This section houses a collection of Renaissance era bronzes, from such artists as: Giambologna and Del Riccio, and terra cotta models. Not to be missed are the Testa del Moro, l'Angelo col Titolo, by Bernini, for his works in Piazza Navona and Castel Sant'Angelo respectively. 3. Passagio dei Cardinali: This area, which was originally the fortress's battlement, then subsequently covered-over in the 18th century, now serves as a link between the preceding two museum sections. The passage itself houses a vast collection of foreign and domestic ceramic and porcelain pieces, from the 8th-19th centuries; including works from Faenza, Capodimonte, Deruta, Meissen, Sevres, and St. Petersburg.
