Palazzo Mazzetti - Pinacoteca Civica
About This Museum
You'd never guess that behind this unassuming palazzo facade lies a treasure chest of art that completely floored me. I wandered through grand, frescoed rooms where the sunlight just kisses the gilded frames of Renaissance masterpieces. It’s one of those places that feels more like a noble family's private collection than a sterile museum. From intricate wood and ivory carvings to ancient coins you can practically imagine jingling in a Roman's pocket, every corner has a story.
Collection Highlights
The collection is wonderfully eclectic—I was mesmerized by the delicate ivory figures and the vibrant, centuries-old fabrics that have retained their color so beautifully. The Renaissance paintings, with their dramatic biblical scenes and serene portraits, are the undeniable stars of the show.
Visitor Information
It's right on Corso Vittorio Alfieri in Asti, so it's incredibly easy to find while you're exploring the city center. Just check their website for opening times before you go, as they can vary seasonally.
