from around 1560, and was formerly a workshop that was divided into seven notes on the exhibition venues
different areas. The overall length is around 170 meters, whilst the width
varies between 15 and 17 meters, providing a total of 3,300 square meters of

900 square meters, restored as an exhibition space in 1999. This year the Artiglierie
and isolotto will be flanked by an external exhibition area.
