Description
Galleria Rinaldo Carnielo is an art museum occupying the ground floor of a small palace in Florence, displaying nearly 300 works by sculptor Rinaldo Carnielo. The rooms contain his sculptures in various materials, paintings, and plaster models that document his creative process.
History
The palace was built as a residence in the Art Nouveau style and later given to Florence by the artist's family. Official opening as a museum occurred in 1965, preserving decades of work that had remained in private hands.
