The Palazzo Fortuny Museum
Once owned by the Pesaro family, this large Gothic palazzo in Campo San Beneto, was transformed by Mariano Fortuny into his own atelier of photography, stage-design, textile-design and painting.
The building retains the rooms and structures created by Fortuny, together with tapestries and collections. The working environment of Mariano Fortuny is represented through precious wall-hangings, paintings, and the famous lamps - all objects that testify to the artist's inspiration and still give count of his eclectic work and of his presence on the intellectual and artistic scene at the turn of the nineteenth century.
The Fortuny Museum was donated to the city in 1956 by Henriette, Mariano's widow.
The collections within the museum comprise an extensive number of pieces and materials which reflect the various fields investigated in the artist's work.
These are organised under certain specific headings: painting, light, photography, textiles and grand garments.
