Castelvecchio Museum is an old castle in Verona that was renovated/modified by Carol Scarpa. Scarpa designed all of the displays for the artwork such as the metal piece holding the up the statues in the last image. The museum has a really great collection of Gothic and Renaissance artwork. These pieces are especially nice because they represent the history of the Verona area rather than just general Renaissance artwork. There is a different style to northern Italian artwork and Scarpa did a great job presenting it. The combination of the new and old was perfect. This was my favorite place to see in Verona by far.
If you are ever in Verona, you definitely need to visit Castelvecchio. Here's a link to more info
