**NEW: Some Italian Museums Are Indeed Open on Mondays (Free Italy Travel Advice)**


  
Guidebook listings might lead you to believe that there's nothing to do on a Monday (lunedi) in Italy. It's true that many museums--particularly the national museums run by the state--close every Monday, but privately run museums provide ample alternatives for Italian art lovers. Save La Primavera and The Last Supper for another day; use your Monday to tour Florence's Brancacci Chapel or Venice's Peggy Guggenheim Collection. Here's a list of museums in Italy's major cities that remain aperto on Mondays:

NAPLES
