Museum-lapidarium of Maffei (Museo Lapidario Maffeiano)
The museum was founded by Francesco Scipione Maffei between 1718 and 1727. Maffei was a devout collector of archaeological finds, whose goal was to acquaint the common people with ancient times and the period of classicism. Many of its exhibits were looted during the invasion of Napoleonic troops and transported to Paris. Despite the fact that part of the collection was later returned to Verona, some valuable artifacts “settled” in the Louvre in Paris.
Today the museum contains tombstones, bas-reliefs, sarcophagi and sculptures - Italian, Greek and Etruscan. The collection of Greek epitaphs (5th BC - 4th century AD), which illustrates the daily life of the ancient Greeks, deserves attention.
Entrance fee: € 4.50

Corso Castelvecchio 2, Verona
The Archaeological Museum (Museo archeologico) in Verona was founded in 1923. The collection of medieval collections is located in the premises of the former monastery of St. Girolamo (S. Girolamo). Of course, the atmosphere of the ancient monastery leaves an amazing feeling on all the museum exhibits, which in this light look even more mysterious and magical.
History of the Archaeological Museum
The Monastery of San Gerolamo, which houses the archaeological museum, is located next to the Roman Theater (Teatro Romano di Verona). It was at his excavations that most of the valuables that make up the museum’s exhibition were found.
The Roman theater was founded in the 1st century AD. However, after numerous floods, little remained of it by the Middle Ages. Around the 10th century, this area was built up with ordinary houses, at the same time a church appeared next to it.
Since the 19th century, the land that once housed the Roman Theater was purchased by the wealthy merchant Andrea Monga. Since then, excavations have been constantly carried out on the territory of the theater. So, in 1851, at the very top of the San Pietro hill, the walls of that same ancient church were discovered.

Reconstruction
In 1904, the territory of the Roman Theater became the property of the local administration, which continued excavations. Restoration work was also carried out: the spectator amphitheater, stage, large staircase, arches, as well as the Church of Saints Sir and Libera were reconstructed.
At the same time, the monastery of San Gerolomo was also restored. You can climb up to it by steps from the Roman Theater. From the height of the monastery on the hill of San Pietro there is a beautiful view.

Exhibits of the Archaeological Museum
The archaeological museum contains mosaics and glass vessels from the times of Ancient Rome, ancient sculpture, bronze figurines, and ceramics. The most famous mosaic depicting a gladiator battle from the 1st century.
All these valuables were found throughout Verona during excavations or transferred from private collections. Some of the artifacts were discovered during excavations of an ancient Roman theater.
Roman epitaphs are kept in a separate room. And in the courtyard of the museum you can see steles, tombstones and altars from the ancient era.
The museum complex also includes the monastery church of St. Jerome from 1508, where Karoto's frescoes have been preserved. Also of historical value is a triptych by a 15th-century Verona master, which depicts the Madonna with two saints, and a statue of the Good Shepherd, created in the 4th century.

Palazzo Pitti in Florence
Italy has always been firmly connected by the finest silk of intrigue, bribery and frame-up, as well as bloody murders and extremely mysterious stories in which revenge, envy and passion became the main centripetal forces of the whole action. This is exactly how one of the richest palaces in Florence appeared - Palazzo Pitti, connected, oddly enough, with one of the most influential people of his time - with Cosimo de' Medici, or rather with the envy that he aroused with his wealth in the heart of one of his own favorites. The idea was simple to the point of genius - to erect a structure that could not only eclipse, but eclipse forever, the splendor of the Medici residences. Unfortunately, this aspiration was not destined to become a reality - the Pitti family did not have time to complete the construction, and the power of the family gradually faded away.
This colossal structure has come to us in its modern form thanks to numerous reconstructions that the palace went through at different times. These reconstructions affected not only the building itself, but also the vast park area that is located behind it, creating one of the most perfect, in terms of landscape design, gardens in Italy - the Boboli Gardens. But they are not the only ones that attract tourists. On the territory of Palazzo Pitti there are a number of independent institutions, each of which works according to its own schedule and sets its own prices for entrance tickets, which is not always convenient. However, those who want to see the works of Van Dyck, visit the real Medici treasury or marvel at the delicacy of porcelain products are always there, despite such minor inconveniences.
It’s hard to believe, but in a rather unremarkable building, squeezed between neighboring houses, there is an archaeological museum with a rather rich exhibition. This building is in fact the former premises of the Pilgrim Hospital, and the one mentioned has the status of the Royal Cattolica Museum.
Despite its rather modest size, it managed to accommodate two almost independent halls. The first is dedicated to purely historical artifacts, whose age dates back to the first centuries of our era and younger. The second is completely devoted to maritime affairs in all its possible interpretations: numerous ship models, ancient maps and images, documents and logbooks.
Perhaps the most important for foreign tourists are two points: the possibility of free entry all year round with no entrance fee and the availability of summer - again free - tours, which are conducted in two languages - Italian and English.
