Accademia Tadini, one of the most precious and old museum in Lombardia, is located really close to the lake and the historical centre of Lovere, in a nice Neoclassical Palace, built by conte Luigi Tadini in early XIX century for his collection. Here you can find two masterpieces by Antonio Canova, and some paintings from well known artists (e.g. Jacopo Bellini, Bordon, Campi, Palma il Giovane, Tiepolo, Hayez, Oprandi), and also some nice works by unknown artists. There is also a collection of old weapons, archeological evidences and wonderful porcelain (China, Sèvres, Meissen, Vienna and Capodimonte). Good outfitting. Nice guides. Don't miss the little church where Faustino Tadini (the young son of Luigi) is buried. Very good place for art lovers. Highly recommended.

I don't know much about art and the old painting left me a little cold but enjoyed the modern art section.
