Special
guided
Tour and
Piano Concert at the
Revoltella Modern Art
Museum in Trieste
Palazzo Revoltella,
in the centre of Trieste, is a
house-museum in neo-Renaissance style. It was designed in 1852 for
Baron Pasquale
Revoltella, a wealthy Trieste businessman and art collector. He was one
of the
lead financial supporters for the construction of the Suez Canal. In 1869,
when Baron Revoltella died without heirs, he left everything to the
city of
Trieste starting with his home and all the furnishing, books, and works
of art
it contained. In 1872 a Museum and a Gallery for Modern Art were
established.
You will visit this sumptuous, historical
dwelling with its original 19th century furniture, art collections and
sculptures
with an English speaking guide. At 11:00 a.m. there
will
be a Piano Concert in the Auditorium of the
museum with music by Bach and Reger, followed by refreshments. Right after, the guide will take you
around the Museum's Modern Art Gallery and the exhibition of clothes
designed
by Italian fashion designer Roberta di Camerino. The second guided tour
will
end at approximately 13:30.
