Beautiful museum in the historic Villa Reale. Amazing 19th-century and early 20th-century Italian art, with masterpieces by Hayez, Segantini and Pellizza da Volpedo. Calm atmosphere, not too crowded, perfect for enjoying art slowly.

From the moment I walked in, it felt like stepping into someone’s beautifully designed priv...
