MUVIG

The MUVIG – Virtual Museum of painter Benvenuto Tisi da Garofolo is an innovative space dedicated to enhancing the work and legacy of Benvenuto Tisi, known as “Garofalo,” one of the key figures of the Ferrarese Renaissance. Thanks to digital technologies, the museum offers an immersive and interactive experience, allowing visitors to virtually explore the artist's works and delve into his role in the culture of the time, influenced by masters such as Raphael and Michelangelo.

The sequential structure of the MUVIG spaces invites a clear and linear organization of the exhibition route, designed to facilitate visitor understanding and orientation. For this reason, a chronological itinerary is proposed that divides the entire artistic output of Benvenuto Tisi da Garofolo into eight main temporal stages:

• ROOM 1. The works of Garofalo. Map of the Works
• ROOM 2. Estense Ferrara and the beginnings of Garofalo (1496-1506)
• ROOM 3. “Friend of Giorgione” (1506-1512)
