The Civico Sartorio museum has recently re-opened after many years of refurbishment. It is located in a charming eighteenth-century villa that belonged to the Sartorio family.

The mansion still boasts of its original furnishings and décor including the porcelain, ceramics and the beautiful art collection. The Rusconi-Opuich collection that comprises about 2500 pieces of various kinds of artworks from ancient art to the contemporary  20th century paintings, drawings, prints, jewels, textiles, silverware, etc is a stunning one. The Tieplo drawings on display are also noteworthy.

The basement floor displays the collections of applied art, jewels and the remains of a Roman domus of the first century A.D. that was excavated during the renovation.

A connoisseur’s delight, the picture gallery which is located in the rooms of the old stable, comprises over a thousand paintings of the collections of the Municipal Museums of History and Art.
