Mantova
The Museum boasts one of the oldest and most complete collections of Mantuan and Gonzaga coins and medals, with 2053 coins and 131 medals.
The exceptional rarity of many of the often unique examples represents an immense cultural heritage. Pisanello, Bartolo Talpa, Leonie Leoni, Gaspsare Molo and Gian Cristoforo Romano are just some of the artists who created coins and medals for the Gonzaga family.
Many of the coins dating from the 13th to 18th century record the connections between Mantua and Virgil, whose figure on the city's coinage has served through the centuries to forge a sense of cultural identity among the local inhabitants.
Eccezionale, ma purtroppo da qualche anno è chiuso al pubblico (apre solo in sporadiche occasioni).
