This formidable mix of Old Masters was started by Cardinal Frederico Borromeo as an adjunct to the Ambrosiana Library. Famously, the library is home to the Codex Atlantico , which contains the lion’s share of Leonardo’s drawings and sketches – photocopied pages from it are displayed in the Pinacoteca. Elsewhere, you’ll find paintings by Botticelli, Titian and Caravaggio, as well as Raphael’s giant preparatory sketch for the School of Athens .
