Milan - Poldi-Pezzoli Museum

(Local Name: Museo Poldi Pezzoli) At Via Manzoni 12, in an elegant old patrician house, the Museo Poldi-Pezzoli contains pictures by Botticelli, Mantegna, Piero della Francesca, Guardí and other artists; there are also Flemish and Persian carpets, tapestries, jewelry, silver, bronzes and weapons.

A very rare embroidery designed by Botticelli is also to be found in the collection. It is one of the very few museums to have it's entire collection published in a series of specialized volumes.
