Palazzo Fava

TIME : 2016/2/18 21:09:56

This exhibition space encased in a Renaissance mansion is frequently the site of blockbuster temporary art shows. Beyond these special exhibits, the palace's biggest draw is the group of heavily frescoed rooms on the 1st floor, in particular the Sala di Giasone , painted in bright naturalistic style by the precocious young Carraccis (brothers Annibale and Agostino and their cousin Ludovico) in the 1580s. There's also a lovely cafe on-site.
