Mantova Museo Urbano Diffuso

The influence of the Fancelli architectural style can be clearly seen in the house's façade, which is marked by distinctive rectangular windows that open out from the pink surface. The interior features rooms on a number of floors that are adorned in part by decorations, rich in earthly details of the life of the Blessed, drawing on the influence of Mantegna or the later grotesque. Boasting a large, standout portico, the courtyard can be traced to the work of the attentive hands of Renaissance gardeners, who selected the right plants. This complex, then, is an authentic and complete Renaissance residence, with priceless charm and tranquillity - a place for diverse and regular cultural events. It was here that a few scenes from Ermanno Olmi's 2001 film "The Profession of Arms", which narrates the life of Lodovico de Medici, were filmed.
