Very artistic museum wiya lot of unique artwork paintings from famous and talented painters from the era of 16 to 18th century. Amazing place also for families. At the back of the museum there is a nice garden with a cozy bar for prosecco wine 🍷😀. Everything perfect, what else to expect from Bella Roma ❤️
