Museo Sartorio

Museo Sartorio is an art museum in a villa in Trieste displaying paintings, sculptures, and ceramics spanning different periods. The rooms contain carefully arranged collections that reflect the artistic interests of those who lived there.

The museum was founded in 1949 from the bequest of the Sartorio family. During renovation work in the early 2000s, archaeologists uncovered remains of a first-century Roman house beneath the villa.

The collections reflect how affluent families in the region valued art and arranged their homes. You can see how artistic taste and collecting traditions passed through generations as part of daily life.

The museum is centrally located in Trieste and easy to reach on foot while walking through the old town. The spaces are compact, so you can view everything at a relaxed pace without needing to rush.

Beneath the villa lies an excavation with walls and objects from the first century that are now part of the permanent exhibition. This archaeological discovery connects two distant time periods within the same location.
