ROOM 12

This room, adjacent to the matrimonial bedroom, was Giuseppe Bagatti Valsecchi’s bedroom. As other aristocratic gentlemen of his day, Giuseppe had his own private bedroom. On the tables, some liturgical objects are displayed, such as fifteenth and sixteenth century monstrances and reliquaries, underscoring the refined and precious atmosphere of this bedroom.

In the frieze:

Non census nec clarum nomen avorum sed probitas magnos ingeniumque facit

Neither wealth nor the illustrious name of ancestors, but honesty and ingenuity make one great

(Ovid, Letters from Pontus, I, 9, vv.39-40)
