Turn-of-the-century Milan

Fausto and Giuseppe Bagatti Valsecchi, their home and their art works are the protagonists of this visit dedicated to the historic house museum in via Gesù and to the treasures it preserves. Past and present, tradition and modernity, collecting, life style, art and artisanry, all are themes that enter into play during this winning visit, rich with starting points, reflection and discovery. The Bagatti Valsecchi Museum and its patrimony of art works, together with the motivations that spurred the Bagatti Valsecchi brothers to this realization of their family home, are the protagonists of this visit. From the lively Milan of the years right after the Unification of Italy to the articulated operation of recovering the Renaissance they employed in their house, a complete scenario will unfold before the eyes of the young visitors, which winds its way between the 15th and 16th century past and the historicism of the end of the 19th century.
