Museo Nazionale dell’Età Neoclassica in Romagna
The Museo Nazionale dell’Età Neoclassica in Romagna is housed at Palazzo Milzetti. Unlike other museums, the building does not hold the museum’s pieces: rather, the palazzo itself is the museum. In the rooms of the Milzetti, visitors can find the most striking examples of the Neoclassical period in Faenza and Romagna.
On the ground floor are the library, the elegant dining room decorated with acorn motifs and an oval antechamber unique of its kind; on the first floor are the finest rooms: the Tempio di Apollo, several ballrooms and the Galleria di Achille, an area decorated in continuity with a vaulted ceiling.
