Palazzo Sardagna – Sala delle Scienze

The Diocesan Museum is located in the splendid Piazza Duomo, next to the Cathedral of San Vigilio, in Palazzo Pretorio. In its rooms it exhibits a rich heritage of art and culture ranging from the 11th to the 19th century: paintings, wooden sculptures, illuminated manuscripts, iconographic testimonies of the Council of Trent, precious goldsmith's art, ancient embroideries and sumptuous Flemish tapestries. The museum also manages the early Christian Basilica of San Vigilio, the Porta Veronensis (1st century AD), or the ancient monumental entrance to the Roman Tridentum, and the Civic Tower, which with its 45 meters high is the unmistakable symbol of the city.

Home of the Ciani Bassetti barons from 1600 to early 1900, the building is characterized by the style of the facade, of Renaissance derivation. While maintaining the previous score, it was renovated in 1883 by engineer Saverio Tamanini, one of the most famous Trentino professionals and, in 1939, by architect Marco Martinuzzi, graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice. In 2000 the entire building was renovated to a design by the Trentino architect Sergio Giovanazzi.

The events that will take place in this location will be organized by Intesa Sanpaolo.

The square is named after Resistance martyr Mario Pasi, who served as a doctor at the Trento hospital during World War II. Embellished by the fountain produced by Andrea Malfatti depicting the god Bacchus, the small square has been a meeting point since the 14th century, where peasants bargained wages with landowners.
