Renaissance Bronzes’s Rooms

The rooms house the collection of bronzes and Renaissance plates, attributed to authors from the Padua school, some period furnishings, paintings and historical maps.
The collection of this Museum comes from the Kunst-und Wunderkammer of Francesco Calzolari, acquired in Verona in the late 16th century, and then merged into the seventeenth-century museum of Ludovico Moscardo.
Padua was one of the most receptive centers of the taste for the bronze figures thanks to the presence of Donatello who moved in 1443 and the advent, later, of the workshop of Andrea Briosco called Riccio, of which some pieces are exposed.
