Val d'Aosta Museums And Galleries
Aosta (Aoste in French) is the largest city in this tiny bilingual enclave in the Italian Alps. The Cathedral Treasury Museum is right in the twon center. Don't miss the carved ivory diptych portraying the Roman Emperor Honorius (as in honorable?) dating from the early Fifth Century.
