Review:
Museo delle Sinopie is one of the few places on earth where visitors can view sinopie (preliminary sketches) of frescoes that provide a glimpse into the fresco painting process. The museum safeguards numerous sinopias, done by 14th and 15th century artists in red earth pigment. Sinopias were painted over into frescoes. After fire damage during WWII, frescoes were peeled from the walls in an effort to restore and preserve them, revealing the sinopias beneath. The sinopias were also then removed and moved to the museum. Visitors can see beautiful frescoes, numerous sinopias, short films about fresco painting, and scale models at Museo delle Sinopie.
