In the heart of Caprino Veronese, the ancient Palazzo Carlotti — now the Town Hall — hides a true gem: the Civic Museum.
Here you can admire the Lamentation over the Dead Christ, a mysterious 14th-century sculpture depicting the powerful scene of Jesus laid to rest and mourned by his disciples. After centuries spent “asleep” in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, it has been carefully restored so we can still feel its strong emotion today.
In the Hall of Dreams, a magical atmosphere awaits you, filled with grotesque figures and myths created by the famous workshop of Jacopo Ligozzi, featuring stories of gods, heroes, and fantastic animals. You can also discover a medieval hunting fresco, donated by the local Pro Loco, and explore unique archaeological finds: two Lombard sarcophagi and an ancient Roman artifact from the 1st century AD, witnesses to the area’s long and rich history.
A visit not to be missed for anyone wanting to dive into art, mystery, and tradition!
