Museum sights in Piacenza

  1. Palazzo Farnese

    The vast Palazzo Farnese was started in 1558 but never fully completed. It now houses the Pinacoteca, an art gallery, and four minor museums of archaeology, carriages, Italian unification and, in the main one, the Museo Civico, the bizarre Etruscan Fegato di Piacenza, a sheep’s liver in bronze that was used for divining the future. Single entry to the archaeology museum costs €3, to the carriages and unification museums €2.50, and to the Pinacoteca and Museo Civico €5.
