Be-Go, Benozzo Gozzoli museum

The Be-Go museum in Castelfiorentino displays detached frescoes and preparatory drawings from two religious shrines painted in the late 15th century. Each work occupies its own exhibition space, where the original colors have been carefully preserved.

The museum opened in 2009 and preserves two significant works from the late 15th century: the Tabernacle of Madonna della Tosse from 1484 and the Tabernacle of Visitation from 1491. These pieces represent different stages in the artist's career.

The museum displays technological installations created by Florence's Institute of History of Science to explain how Benozzo Gozzoli worked and thought as an artist. Visitors can explore the creative choices he made during the Renaissance through these interactive tools.

The museum is fully wheelchair accessible and offers specialized support services for visitors with physical or sensory limitations. Planning your visit in advance allows you to arrange any specific assistance you may need.

The museum preserves sinopies, which are preliminary sketches drawn directly onto fresh plaster beneath the finished frescoes. These underlying layers reveal the artist's initial thoughts and corrections made during the painting process.
