G.B. Cavalcaselle Fresco Museum, Art museum in Verona, Italy.
The G.B. Cavalcaselle Fresco Museum occupies a former monastery and displays wall paintings that were removed from buildings throughout Verona over many centuries. The rooms showcase these frescoes alongside Roman vessels, bronze objects, and medieval stone works collected from the city's past.
The museum was established in 1975 to preserve frescoes spanning multiple centuries, including paintings from Palazzo Fiorio della Seta that was destroyed after the 1882 flood. This rescue mission began to protect valuable artworks that faced demolition or disappearance.
The collection brings together artworks from different periods of Italian history, from Roman objects to medieval stones and Renaissance bronzes. Visitors can observe how various artistic forms and materials coexisted across centuries in the region.
The museum welcomes visitors from Monday afternoon through Sunday, with full wheelchair accessibility throughout the building. Plan your visit ahead to check opening times and confirm that all galleries of interest are available during your intended hours.
A stone sarcophagus in the museum's crypt is identified by local tradition as the tomb of Juliet, connecting art preservation with the region's famous legend. This merging of historical artifacts with literary folklore makes the visit a bridge between real artistic heritage and Verona's enduring story.
