The Riminaldi Museum, housed since 2005 in Palazzo Bonacossi in Ferrara, exhibits the art and antiques collections that Cardinal Giammaria Riminaldi (1718-1789) gathered in Rome and donated to his city, Ferrara, in the second half of the eighteenth century. The exhibition itinerary consists of a wide typological variety of works, among which sculptures prevail over paintings. For importance and quality, the collection of bronzes, the significant mosaics and the polychrome marble orders, whose refinement is accentuated by specially designed display solutions, also making use of period furnishings, are worthy of note. Overall, the Riminaldi Museum reflects the artistic and antiquarian program of the cardinal, a collector and intellectual of great caliber, animator of the Ferrara and Roman cultural life of the second half of the eighteenth century. The evocative setting highlights the excellence of the many works selected by the cardinal according to a conscious taste for the ancient supported by the adherence to the theories on the classical ideal that combined with the interest in the innovative Baroque sculpture. The Riminaldi Museum offers further in-depth tools such as the catalog of the collection. For further information on the civic collections, the public library of art and archeology can be used, which shares the spaces and opening hours at Palazzo Bonacossi with the Museum.
