Miniscalchi Palace in via San Mamaso is a splendid example of late Gothic architecture. Its decorative parts (portal, two large double lancet windows and sixteen single lancet windows) were made by the workshop of "Quell'Agnolo di Giovanni", active in Verona around 1480 in the church of San Thomas of Canterbury and St. Euphemia.
The frescoes that cover the entire facade are of a later period (end of sixteenth century): the middle and upper registers are by Michelangelo Aliprandi, an imitator of Veronese, while the continuous frieze of the lower register is due to the Tullio India the Old.
Miniscalchi-Erizzo Palace, connected with the previous one, but on Via Garibaldi, is instead a classical building dating back to the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Until March 1977 it was house of the family Miniscalchi.
In 1990, after a long and expensive restoration, the Museum Miniscalchi-Erizzo of the Foundation was opened within the building complex.
