The section dedicated to the Middle Ages and to the 15th Century, with sculptures, torn frescos, and a wide selection of works of Bembo family is hosted in the first room. The gallery of Cremona's paintings dating back to the 16th Century offers a complete anthology of the painters who testify with their work the passage from the 15th century tradition to the modern style (Boccaccino, Pedro Fernandez, Aleni e Galeazzo Campi) and the introduction of a new Renaissance spirit through the works of Camillo Boccaccino, Gian Francesco Bembo and Campi family, who anticipated the naturalistic sensibility which will be then interpreted by Caravaggio, now portrayed in the famous painting San Francesco in meditazione.
