Private art collection of the Bagatti Valsecchi brothers
A private foundation, set up by the Bagatti Valsecchi heirs, to open the family's late 19th-century residence and collections of artworks to the public.
Brothers and barons Fausto and Giuseppe Bagatti Valsecchi renovated their home in Milan at the end of the 19th century in a Neo-Renaissance style. At the same time, they began collecting paintings and decorative arts of the 15th and 16th centuries to decorate the house.
In the 1970s, their heirs decided to open the house and the collection to the public. They have kept the domestic feel, arranging the objects as they were in the 19th century and avoiding labels. The collection includes musical instruments, sculptures, furniture, clocks, textiles, glass, tapestries, ivories and ceramics. There are works by Giovanni Bellini, Bernardo Zenale and Giampietrino.
Visitor comments
- "After a lunch at Il Salumaio (located in the same building) we discovered this beautiful palazzo. Worth a visit" - Trip Advisor
- "Amazing dedication from two brothers who created the palace. Impressive interiors and story of the family. Not too huge, tour takes about an hour. Recommended!" - Trip Advisor
- "This well-preserved sixteenth-century mansion with its treasures of renaissance art is well worth a visit when you tire of the modern treasures in Via Montenapoleone nearby. The original architecture, grand staircases, furnishings and art are fascinating, and ably explained in many languages by the helpful guides." - Trip Advisor
