Blessed Osanna Andreasi's House

1475

Mantova Museo Urbano Diffuso

Mantova Museo Urbano Diffuso

The top floors of the House of the Blessed Osanna constitute a small museum, which conveys the devotion of our Blessed and displays the heritage that in the course of the years was gathered and that illustrates her virtues. In these rooms, which are not very large, decorated with the preserved fragments of Renaissance frescoes, we see paintings, books, relics, personal objects once belonging to Osanna, letters and other documents. What makes these rooms particularly fascinating is the convergence of three important presences. Mantuan Renaissance, rich in references to Humanism and Mantegna. The figure and the works of our Blessed, a woman who was able to exert a strong influence on the governing house. Finally the symbols of faith, which, though displaying excellent artistic qualities, stay in our memory because they express a silent and ascending prayer. Thus the House is, in its entirety, one of the most spiritual places in Italy.
