At the castle museum you can see Michelangelo Buonarroti’s unfinished, Pietà Rondanini, the last work he was working on before his death. In the lower levels of the castle you can visit the prehistoric and Egyptian museum of works found during building as well as Egyptian works acquired by excavation of Achille Vogliano, Italian archaeologist.
