The Sinopie Museum displays a collection of sinopias, the preparatory drawings of frescoes discovered during the restoration of the Camposanto Monumentale (cemetery). These preparatory drawings provide insight into the techniques of fresco painting and the working methods of artists in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

From Wikipedia (The text is somewhat clumsily translated from Italian into German, but perhaps still a reference point for those interested):
The Sinopie frescoes of the monumental cemetery are kept in the Sinopie Museum in Piazza del Duomo in Pisa.

The frescoes, works of various artists including Buffalmacco, Andrea Bonaiuti, Antonio Veneziano, Spinello Aretino, Taddeo Gaddi, Piero di Puccio, Benozzo Gozzoli and others, once covered the walls of the cemetery and were destroyed or in any case badly damaged in the fire in the year 1944 due to an Allied bombing raid.
