Floor 3 houses Intesa Sanpaolo's Publifoto Archive and the Multimedia Room, which offers a large immersive installation that, thanks to an advanced projection system, allows visitors to enjoy a 360-degree experience of the artists on show.The tour continues on the ground floor to the open cloisters, where the bookshop, café and restaurant are located, and then continues to the piano nobile where the permanent collection is on display, consisting of works from the 14th to 18th century selected from the Bank's collections in dialogue with the tasteful decorative features of the rooms, as well as the important 17th century pictorial cycle from the destroyed Oratory of the Compagnia di San Paolo, returned here to the public
