EXHIBITION VENUES

Today, the activities are promoted by Loriana Zanuttigh with the same enthusiasm and dedication.

In addition to its historical and architectural significance, the castle, home to the Fondazione Sartirana, is known for housing collections of 1960s and 1970s fashion, silverware, jewelry, objects of rural culture, fine art prints, and for offering significant art exhibitions and cultural events.
