The Revoltella Museum is located in the historic center of Trieste and is a modern art gallery. The Museum is the place where Baron Pasquale Revoltella lived, who left the city with his works, the furnishings and the books it contained upon his death. In 1872 the Municipality turned it into a museum. The Museum houses a collection of works that were donated to the city by Revoltella himself and by other private individuals. The works exhibited today are for a total of about 350 paintings and sculptures. The works on display are by Italian authors of the second half of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and by local artists from Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The art collection is very rich in marble groups, paintings with historical scenes, landscapes and portraits from the first half of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The works on display are by artists such as Domenico Induno, Giuseppe De Nittis, Mario Sironi, Carlo Carrà, Giorgio De Chirico, Lucio Fontana, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Giacomo Manzù, Francesco Hayez, Giovanni Fattori and many others. Among the works of great value are Gaetano Previati "the day wakes up the night", Mario Sironi "the shepherd" and Lucio Fontana "Attese". The Museum preserves the original furnishings and decorations such as inlaid floors, painted ceilings, stucco coverings.
