Museum of Decorative Arts – Sforza Castle
Milan
In the Ducal Court and the Rocchetta of the Sforza Castle, the museum houses one of Italy's most important collections of applied arts and documents the work of European glass masters from the Middle Ages onwards, spanning glass, stained glass and enamels. The itinerary reaches into the 21st century: the donation of collector Sandro Pezzoli brought 45 glass works from the 1950s to the present day, with names such as Mario Bellini, Gianfranco Frattini and Roberto Sambonet.
