(Castle Museum) Piazza Castello • Cairoli stop on the metro line 1. Originally a military fortress, the Castello Sforzesco was completely remodelled by the more comfort-minded Francesco Sforza. The new and improved defences were designed by Leonardo da Vinci. The "Sala delle Asse" has a superb ceiling decoration designed by Leonardo da Vinci and painted by his assistants. The museum is installed in a series of Renaissance halls and is well stocked with impressive collections that include Michelangelo's Pietá Rondanini. There are also paintings by Bellini, Tiepolo, Mantegna, Correggio, Titian and Van Dyck. |
