Museo Poldi-Pezzoli
The Museo Poldi-Pezzoli contains a spectacular private
collection that was bequeathed by its namesake Poldi Pezzoli to the
city in 1879. Numerous masterpieces hang from the walls of the
Golden Room with its vista onto a picturesque garden. Antonio
Pollaiolo's Portrait of a Lady has become the symbol for Milan's
own style and elegance and depicts the profile of an elegant woman.
Other famous paintings include a Virgin and Child by Andrea
Mantegna, Bellini's Ecco Homo, Piero della Francesca's St Nicholas
and Guardi's Gray Lagoon.
