Review of Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Mansi

This museum is worth the admission price if only to see the ridiculously sumptuous tapestries, frescoes, and other decorations of this 16th- to 19th-century palace. The collection isn't large or particularly spectacular, but be on the lookout for Luca Giordano's St. Sebastian, Domenico Beccafumi's wildly colored Scipio, Jacopo Vignali's Tobias and the Angel, and Rutilio Manetti's Triumph of David. In the second room is one of several versions of Agnolo Bronzino's definitive Portrait of Cosimo I and Pontormo's Mannerist Portrait of a Boy. The third room has a Madonna and Child by Correggio and Il Sodoma's Christ with the Cross, along with some portraits by Tintoretto and Luca Giordano.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
