Established in 1809, the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan was born as a space in which paintings from the territories conquered during Napoleonic rule were to be exhibited. Today its collection includes masterpieces that retrace the history of Italian and international art. Hayez, Tintoretto, Piero della Francesca, Raphael and Mantegna are just some of the artists who occupy a prominent place in the collection.
Address: Via Brera 28, Milan
