A small museum in a brick house just inside the walls occupies what is traditionally identified as Giorgione's birthplace. The building itself is medieval, with frescoes attributed to the young Giorgione decorating one upper room — a frieze of allegorical figures, faded but recognisably in his hand.
The collection is modest: documents, period furniture, copies and engravings of his paintings, contextual material on the Venetian Renaissance. None of his major works are here. But the rooms are beautifully presented, the staff are knowledgeable, and the building's claim to be the painter's actual birthplace gives the visit a particular charge. An hour is enough; combine it with the Duomo and the walls for a satisfying short pilgrimage to one of Western painting's most enigmatic figures.
