Experts' Choice Award Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Mansi
What the experts agree on
A 16th-century merchant's palazzo dripping with rococo excess—lavish tapestries, frescoes, and gilded rooms—paired with a compact but rich gallery of works by Tintoretto, Bronzino, and Pontormo.
“The art gallery exhibits large, quite unceremonious compositions by Veronese, Giordano, Dominiquin and Tintoretto.”
