The vivid identity of the local cultural tradition is shaken by the work of Umbrian Pierrot Della Franc, Ferrarz Kozimo Tour, Paduan Andrea Manteeni and Florentine Leonardo da Vinci, whose drawing vitruvian man belongs to the number of world famous exhibits of the museum. Having originated in 1750 in the bowels of the Venetian Academy of Fine Arts, the gallery intensely sought its own path of development. Having determined at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries the cultural mission of the gallery, curators systematized the rich Venetian artistic heritage in a thematic and chronological order, and the work of the Nevalian schools was placed in separate rooms. The collection exhibited today conveys the festive, solemn and radiant sound of Venetian art, which has preserved a special sense of color and extraordinary decorative charm and subtlety for centuries
