I loved the information programs screened on several tv sets along the exhibition. Very well produced and made. Bravo!! For the rest, I think the museography is not that good. Too many portraits and bust without a real explanation of who those people were. If you don't know the history of Italy, you kept wondering about it and about the... More

A good hour to see how Italian unity was conceived and slowly made through battles and annexations showed with many books, documents, paintings marbles, bronzes, maps, guns, medals, military uniforms and ranks and many more other details. Wiìorth entirely the visit. Pictures allowed after payment of 2 euros and signature of disclaimer to not publish the pictures. More

One remark: there are audioguides (for add. fee), with different level of details, that you have to choose at the entrance. The lowest level of details does not tell you more than the poster at the... More

Nicely done. Good overview of the history of Italy, in Particular the past 150 years. Unfortunately some rooms are "over-crowded" - there is just too much stuff in them. But all in all, a very pleasant experience. Audio guides available. Plus point: For a small fee of EUR 1 you are allowed to take pictures. The palace itself is also... More
