Painting in Novara: start in the museums
The best way to find out what you want on your wall is to spend time in front of real paintings. In Novara the collections to start from are Basilica di San Gaudenzio, Museo Civico di Novara, Castello Visconteo Sforzesco. That is where to look for the names the city ties to its history, such as Alessandro Antonelli. There a painting is seen at its own scale, with its surface and its light, and no photograph replaces that. For a wider view, the page on Piemonte gathers the other cities of the region.
