Zeta International Milan Guide: PINACOTECA DI BRERA
Brera is Milan’s artistic centre and is one of the most beautiful areas of the city. On foot or by bicycle, the winding cobbled streets lead to hidden treasures.

The Pinacoteca Art Gallery, the Braidense National Library and the Accademia di Belle Arti (Art Academy) are at home in the beautiful Palazzo Brera.

In the Pinacoteca gallery, there are more than 600 works by masters of the Lombard and Venetian schools which date from the 15th to the 18th century. The most prestigious works are by Mantegna, Giovanni Bellini, Gentile Bellini, Tintoretto, Ercole de' Roberti, Piero della Francesca, Raphael and Caravaggio. In the exquisite courtyard, Antonio Canova’s bronze statue of Napoleon Bonaparte greets visitors to the Academy and the Braidense National Library, founded in 1770 by Marie-Thérèse of Austria.
