Bevilacqua Room

The Bevilacqua Room was the elegant private sitting room of Fausto Bagatti Valsecchi. Only in this room and in the Grand Salon are preserved the original precious wall coverings designed by the brothers for these rooms, and woven for them at the end of the nineteenth century. Among this room’s art works stands out the precious polymaterial panel, the Madonna and Christ Child, a work of the end of the fifteenth century by the Milanese painter, Ambrogio Bevilacqua.
