Museo Diotti
The Museo Diotti is an art institution and museum displaying 19th and 18th century art, located on Via Formis 17 in the historic center of Casalmaggiore, province of Cremona Lombardy, Italy. History The museum, opened in 2007, is located in the palace once owned by the local painter Giuseppe Diotti (1779–1846). After a successful career, the painter moved back to Casalmaggiore late in life; and in 1838, he had the architect Fermo Zuccari restructure the palace. By 1865, the structure had become a local gallery, but then over the years functioned as a nursing home, school, and civic library. The museum has one wing on the '' piano nobile'' displaying works from the 19th century, many by Diotti himself, and maintaining the rooms as they would have looked when he lived, taught, and painted there. The display includes works by Marcantonio Ghislina, Francesco Antonio Chiozzi, Paolo Araldi, Paolo Troubetzkoy, Tommaso Aroldi, Gaetano Previati Gaetano Previati (1852 – 1920) ...

Art Museums And Galleries In Lombardy
Art is a diverse range of human activity, and resulting product, that involves creative or imaginative talent expressive of technical proficiency, beauty, emotional power, or conceptual ideas. There is no generally agreed definition of what constitutes art, and its interpretation has varied greatly throughout history and across cultures. In the Western tradition, the three classical branches of visual art are painting, sculpture, and architecture. Theatre, dance, and other performing arts, as well as literature, music, film and other media such as interactive media, are included in a broader definition of the arts. Until the 17th century, ''art'' referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences. In modern usage after the 17th century, where aesthetic considerations are paramount, the fine arts are separated and distinguished from acquired skills in general, such as the decorative or applied arts.

Goliardo Padova
Goliardia is a type of Italian university student association, similar to the fraternities and sororities of the United States and Canada or to the Studentenverbindung in Germany. Their mythology is built around a supposed link to a group of mostly young and disaffected clergy from the 12th to 13th century. Even if their membership has never reached a large audience, the numbers have been decreasing since the postwar initiatives of keeping these clubs alive, especially considering the acts of vandalism perpetrated by its members in major Italian cities like Padua, Parma, Trieste, and Genoa. Etymology The word "goliard" or, better, "goliarda", is often considered the contraction of "Goliath Abelard". However, the word has an uncertain Salvatore Battaglia''Goliardi'' in '' Enciclopedia Italiana'', vol. 17, Roma, Istituto dell'Enciclopedia Italiana, 1933.
