The most important naval museum in Italy, its roots go back to 1430, and many artifacts are from well before the 1861 Unification of Italy. There are figureheads from real ships you can walk right up to, glass cases with delicate model ships, and great big cannons.
Pleasant and interesting. The museum exhibits models of ships from every era and part of the world, including Columbus' caravels; as well as unique pieces of ships and submarines. One area is dedicated to weapons, while upstairs you can admire a unique and extraordinary collection of polene.
