Casa Vasari, Renaissance residence museum in Arezzo, Italy

The three-story building features decorated rooms on the piano nobile, with walls covered in frescoes depicting mythological and biblical themes painted by Giorgio Vasari.

Giorgio Vasari purchased this residence in 1541 for 700 gold florins, transforming it into his personal home before moving to Florence in 1555.

The Camera della Fama e delle Arti displays allegories of arts through frescoes that Vasari created after returning from his time in Venice.

The museum contains fifty selected artworks from Florentine galleries, along with an archive of Vasari's documents at 55 Via XX Settembre.

The Hall of Triumph of Virtue presents decorations based on Ovid's Metamorphoses, showing the conflict between virtue and fortune through Renaissance imagery.
