Will my bag fit?

Measure the outside of the bag, including handles, wheels and pockets. Security staff have the final word — this is a quick check, not a guarantee.
Can you bring a bag or backpack inside?
Permitted only within 30x30x15 cm; larger backpacks count as bulky bags and must be left in the left luggage area. Maximum item size: Permitted bag size 30x30x15 cm; suitcases, bulky bags and other cumbersome objects exceeding this must be left in the left luggage area..
Suitcases & large luggage
Forbidden to enter with suitcases or bulky bags exceeding 30x30x15 cm; they must be left in the left luggage area.
Lockers, cloakroom & luggage storage
Luggage storage is available for a fee at the Porta Marina and Piazza Anfiteatro entrances (official Visitor Services page). Suitcases and bulky bags over 30x30x15 cm must be left in the left luggage area.
Anything over the size limit has to be stored. On-site storage can fill up at peak times, so a nearby luggage storage is a useful backup.

Allowed inside means you can carry the item with you through the galleries or the site. Storage available means it isn't allowed with you, but you can leave it in a locker or cloakroom and collect it on the way out. A venue can offer storage and still refuse oversized suitcases entirely — so a large suitcase may be neither allowed inside nor accepted for storage. When in doubt, travel light or store luggage off-site before you arrive.
Practical tips
- Check your bag against the published size limit (Permitted bag size 30x30x15 cm; suitcases, bulky bags and other cumbersome objects exceeding this must be left in the left luggage area.) before you go.
- The luggage deposit (for a fee) can fill up at busy times — have a backup plan.
- Rules and security checks change — always confirm on the official site before your visit.
