Casa Museo di Palazzo Sorbello

Just around the corner from the cathedral, this historic home provides a rare window into 18th-century Perugia. The mansion dates back to the 16th century, though it was purchased by the aristocratic Marchesi Bourbon di Sorbello in 1785, and is lavishly furnished with period furniture. Ornate frescoes, a library of aging tomes, and the family's rare porcelain collection round out the experience.
