Galleria Nazionale

Fodor's Review:

This gallery, housed in the richly adorned Palazzo Spinola north of Piazza Soziglia, contains masterpieces by Luca Giordano and Guido Reni. The Ecce Homo, by Antonello da Messina, is a hauntingly beautiful painting, of historical interest because it was the Sicilian da Messina who first brought Flemish oil paints and techniques to Italy from his sojourns in the Low Countries.
