Top 5 Specialty Museums in Italy

SS33 del Sempione, 37, 20015 San Lorenzo di Parabiago MI, Italy

“We really liked this Bonsai museum & shop. Found it by chance and had a nice time.”

Via degli Alfani, 78, 50122 Firenze FI, Italy

“Astounding works of art created by skilled craftsmen from cut pieces of (semi precious) stones of such wonderful colours. A useful explanatory film is shown in the 'laboratory' upstairs. Prepare to be amazed.”

Via Cavour, 14, 33100 Udine UD, Italy

“Nice museum with a collection of paintings and sculptures from the last two centuries, with several local artists from Udine and Friuli. Five euros for a standard ticket, felt like good value for money as there is quite a lot to look at.”

Piazzetta Pascoli, 1, 75100 Matera MT, Italy

“Good piece of art and history of Matera. Definitely a must if passionate about.”

Via Monastero Maggiore, 34, 33043 Cividale del Friuli UD, Italy

“With 4€ you can visit the tempietto longobardo inside the monastery. Take your time to visit this small jewel, mostly if you love ancient art. There are descriptions in Italian and English about the life of the nuns and about the temple and its frescoes.”

Via di Villa Adele, 2, 00042 Anzio RM, Italy

“Incredible little museum. So much crammed into a small space. Really impressed. They opened up especially for us that day so a huge thank you to the staff.”

Lungomare Boeo, n° 30, 91025 Marsala TP, Italy

“This is definitely worth a visit! The exhibitions are not too big, but are beautifully organized, explained and displayed. Some pieces are just stunning! The outside park is surprisingly big and the mosaics of the villa all the way in the back are definitely worth seeing. But don’t forget sun lotion 😊, the area doesn’t look big, but there is almost no shade once you enter the park.”

ai librai, Vico Santa Luciella, 18/B, 80138 Napoli NA, Italy

“Seriously disturbing but educational. It's hard to fathom such treatment today, but what haunted me the most was the fact that the items on display were THE items used. Oh if they could talk. Gives you shivers.”

Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, 50, 46043 Castiglione delle Stiviere MN, Italy

“The birthplace of international humanitarian law and the ICRC. Really powerful to visit.”

Via Costabella, 9, 37011 Bardolino VR, Italy

“Nice little museum and it's free to visit. Great to cool down on a hot day and learn some history at the same time. Plenty of free parking. Free wine tasting. The champagne tastes great. Could do with a little more interactivity for children.”

Piazza Porziuncola, 1, 06081 Santa Maria degli Angeli PG, Italy

“Interesting museum with some lovely pieces. However, their information system does not work. It is QR code based, which would be good, except there is no signal for a mobile phone inside the museum amd there is no WiFi. So, you have no means to learn about what you are seeking. Don't waste your money here.”

Via Filippo Turati, 5, 00049 Velletri RM, Italy

“Unfortunately, the experience with this cinema is not the best. Let's start by saying that from the outside it seems perpetually closed, there are no boards with the programming or anything else. A month ago it was written on the site that the cinema would close for updates and I didn't go for this very reason, only to discover a month later that in reality they hadn't closed at all. It also made me strange to discover that with this new management the cinema remains closed on Mondays but even if these things are mostly nonsense what isn't is CLEANLINESS. I'm really sorry but I just can't get over this. During the interval I left the room to go to the bathroom, I found it closed with the writing "We inform you that the bathrooms are inside the room" so I went back inside and I don't even feel what I found in that toilet. to write it down. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not but I hope they solve it with this review. For the rest it is a normal cinema. ANSWER FOR THE OWNER: Hi, thanking me for the review and then telling me that I'm actually lying by making inappropriate remarks doesn't make sense, it was enough to accept things as they are. You wrote that dirt can be given by other uncivilized people and I would definitely agree if it had been in the evening, but I came to the first show and it was 4.30pm. I also don't think that the broken doors and toilets on all available toilets in the hall bathrooms, as well as the bugs were left by someone shortly before. If you want to check, I'm talking about the bathrooms in ROOM A, I'll gladly come in person to let you know if you want. I avoid posting photos. Furthermore, I don't think I'm the only one who wrote about this cleanliness thing in reviews. Passing off my honest review as something inappropriate and invented when it is clearly your fault is not a professional attitude. In any case, I wish you a good day.”

Via Castello, 2, 35034 Lozzo Atestino PD, Italy

“The castle is very well preserved. It was closed at time of visit and apparently hosts a pizzeria that is open at random hours”

Palazzo Barbaran, Contrà Porti, 11, 36100 Vicenza VI, Italy

“Very interesting museum. The Palace, where it is hosted, deserves a visit on its own. Inside the museum: interesting videos, charming and explicative mockups, interesting info about Palladio (do not miss the "dote" of his wife). Worth a visit”

SP56, 73027 Minervino di Lecce LE, Italy

“To be visited during the summer solstice to witness the alignment of the light that passes through the hole on the top of the dolmen”
