The Lechi Museum exhibits the prestigious picture gallery of Counts Luigi and Piero Lechi, descendants of a family of Napoleonic generals and enlightened collectors, who in May 2005 decided to link their name to a museum institution able to enhance the approximately 350 works of art including paintings, drawings, prints and porcelain of family origin or acquired in years of antiquarian research.
The 14 rooms of the exhibition, rich in descriptive texts, focus on paintings from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century with important examples of the Lombard school from Alessandro Bonvicino known as Moretto to Giacomo Ceruti known as Pitocchetto, and remarkable episodes of seventeenth-century Roman, Neapolitan and Genoese painting or genre painting (portraits, battles, paintings).
