Furniture Collection
The rich collection of furnishings is a fundamental part of the collecting and life-style project of the Bagatti Valsecchi home. The brothers had no compunction about flanking their 15th and 16th century pieces with heavily restored pieces, or even 19th century pieces in the Renaissance style, since their goal was to create an ambiance in which the total effect was more important and convincing than the originality of its single pieces.
