Poldi Pezzoli Museum. When I walked inside, I found that although the yard is not big, the photos taken are very beautiful. The owner is Gian Giacomo Poldi Pezzoli. After he inherited a lot of wealth from his parents’ two big families, he kept the collections and treasures they had left behind from his grandfathers, and he kept collecting them. When he was alive, he lived in this precious mansion, such as artworks, weapons and armors. Two years after his death, he donated it according to his wishes and became a famous museum in Milan and even Europe. After buying the tickets, the staff will give you a map, telling you suggestions for visiting routes. Although there are only two floors, it is divided into multiple rooms, and each room is carefully designed with different artistic styles. Those fascinating collections, luxurious decorations, and exquisite furnishings all allow visitors to maintain a passion for the experience. Unexpectedly, there are so many collections and so many kinds in it that it took three hours to look at it. If you want to know the top brands not to be missed, I suggest buying this "Milan Poldi: Pezzoli Museum", which can help you interpret some of the representative collections so that you will not be at a loss when you see the baby. Of course, what is introduced in the book is only the tip of the iceberg, and there will still be many blinding classic collections on the scene. Another advantage here is that there are not many tourists. Basically, you can enjoy every corner quietly and immerse yourself in an art palace. It’s great.

Art collector Poldi Pezzoli decided to decorate his apartment as a family palace. This two-story house is divided into about 20 rooms. Each room was designed by a famous artist at the time and arranged according to different ages and artistic styles. If you look at it from a practical point of view, this museum is not profitable, although The cost of the visit is 8 euros per person, which is expensive compared with other art museums, but the operation, repair, protection, and publicity costs of such a museum are also not small. Therefore, I began to pay attention to the behind the art museum Story. From today’s point of view, since this art gallery is not run by the government, but privately operated, it must have any purpose. Is it hype? Is it for auctions to get a good price? Is it for fame? Compared with these, I prefer to believe that this is due to Mr. Pezzoli's true love of art as a nobleman! After returning, I carefully browsed the website of the museum, and the work was very elegant and exquisite, without ads, and without any gimmicks. Later I learned, Mr. Pezzoli spent a lot of thought to collect these works of art, received information from artist friends, obtained channels from art critics, and used all his private residences for collection and display, convening the most famous interior design in Italy at that time The teacher helped him complete the interior design of the house.
