Ticket combiné avec les 3 palais Magnifique terrasse en plein centre ville, très apaisante Offre une très belle vue sur la rue et le palais en face Visite intérieure un peu moins bien

Le palais est très joli et l’entrée est peu chère pour les étudiants ( 2 euros pour les 3 palais). La salle Paganini vaut le détour, dommage qu’on ne puisse pas se poser pour écouter sa musique. L’exposition sur la route de la soie était aussi intéressante. Cependant, les tableaux exposés dans le palais sont répétitifs et le manque d’explication ne permet pas une immersion totale.

Merita. Le opere sono bene esposte (e non e' scontato). Mi permetto di segnalare un dipinto straordinario: "Madonna della candela" di Cambiaso. L'uso della luce anticipa Caravaggio.
