Foundation Museum Miniscalchi-Erizzo
A small amber altar with a German inscription in the little chapel is one of the highlights of the collection.
The complex, which is still owned by the family foundation, includes a museum and a small part of the palace is also open to the public. The visitor will get a good impression of the pomp and splendour which the resident noble Miniscalchi-Erizzo family enjoyed.
The family’s ancestors came from Venice and Bergamo. The Miniscalchi were rich merchants in Bergamo and Francesco Erizzo was the Doge of Venice when the two families allied and settled in Verona.
The building itself has elements from different eras. The façade of the portal along with the superb double-arched windows is late Gothic in style; the rear building is Classical in style.
