Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Mansi
Via Galli Tassi 43
About
This museum is worth the admission price if only to see the ridiculously sumptuous tapestries, frescoes, and other decorations of this 16th- to 19th-century palace. The collection isn't large or particularly spectacular, but be on the lookout for Luca Giordano's St. Sebastian, Domenico Beccafumi's wildly colored Scipio, Jacopo Vignale's Tobias and the Angel, and Rutilio Manetti's Triumph of David. In the second room is one of several versions of Agnolo Bronzino's definitive Portrait of Cosimo I and Pontormo's Mannerist Portrait of a Boy. The third room has a Madonna and Child by Correggio and Il Sodoma's Christ with the Cross, along with some portraits by Tintoretto and Luca Giordano.
