Elegant, discreet, hidden from the eyes of tourists, looking on to the important Piazza Pio XI, like the Biblioteca Ambrosiana (Library) which completes it, the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana is one of the three major art galleries in Milan, housing collections of priceless treasures, together with that of Brera and the Castello Sforzesco, and it stands exactly above San Sepolcro and the remains of the Roman Forum and unique location for a private event.
When you enter the complex, you are plunged into a reality that is as though suspended in perfect balance between the importance of the entrance and the staircase and the treasures in the rooms which open up along the route. Going up the magnificent staircase, step after step, the emotion increases and reaches a climax when you arrive in the first room, which extends a unique welcome, thanks to one of the most famous works, Caravaggio’s Basket. One after the other, splendid rooms create a sequence of emotions and narrate the lives and works of great artists.
