In 1904 the palace was bought by the antiquarian Elia Volpi, who opened it to the public in 1910, the first museum of the old Florentine house. Diverse and interesting are the various collections of the museum: sculptures, paintings, furniture, ceramics, furniture, ceramics, lace and embroidery, utensils, etc. On each floor, the rooms follow an identical pattern: the Madornal Hall, the length of the façade, the living room, the bedroom and the studiolo and the bedroom, with decorated wooden ceilings and tapestries along the tapestries along with views of gardens and the important figurative cycle of the Figural Cycle of the Castellana of Vergy.
