Holiday Apartment in Montichiari Between Art and History

The Lechi Museum is located in the vicinity of Montichiari. Its collection comprises 370 inventory items, including paintings, drawings, miniatures, prints and porcelain. This allows you to encounter different forms of artistic expression within a single collection, from small-format works to applied-art objects.

The permanent exhibition at the Museo Lechi displays around 100 paintings in 13 rooms arranged chronologically and thematically. The works date from the 15th to the 19th century. This allows you to trace a broad historical arc during your visit, without the exhibition being limited to just one period or a single subject.

Romanesque Architecture, Panoramic Views and a Neo-Gothic Manor House

The Pieve di San Pancrazio is a Romanesque church from the 12th century on a hill above Montichiari. The Pieve di San Pancrazio offers sweeping views over the surrounding region. The site thus combines a specific historic building with an open view across the landscape.

Castello Bonoris is located in the vicinity of Montichiari. It is a manor house built in the Neo-Gothic style in the 19th century at the request of Count Gaetano Bonoris. Its construction history and style add a clear historical accent alongside the destination’s collections and churches.

Art and Rural Life

The Pinacoteca Pasinetti Museum is located in the vicinity of Montichiari. The Pinacoteca Antonio e Laura Pasinetti permanently preserves works by the painter Antonio Pasinetti, including portraits, colourful landscapes and paintings on social themes. As a result, personal visual worlds and different subjects take centre stage alongside historic collections.

The Museo Bergomi preserves around 6,000 objects from Alpine and pre-Alpine valleys as well as from the plains. These objects document the local rural way of life over the past two centuries. The museum is complemented by a video and conference room with 50 seats. Film clubs, concerts and conferences take place there; courses in crafts and small-scale handicrafts are also held for adults and children. This range of themes offers families points of interest for different preferences and age groups.

A Museum Day with Advance Reservation

The Palazzo dell’Archeologia e della Storia del territorio is open on the other weekdays by prior reservation. This is an important detail to include in your planning if you would like to combine the Palazzo’s archaeological and regional-historical focus with the art collections, the Pieve di San Pancrazio or Castello Bonoris.
