The superb setting for this project is arranged into a series of “cages” which emphasise the walls and vaulted ceiling, which is covered with colourful fabric in order to resolve the issue of blocking out the natural light without affecting the building’s structure. This splendid venue is ideal for exhibiting the Gabriele Arezzo di Trifiletti collection, acquired by the city in 2014.
After many of the most fragile items were carefully restored, an exhibition has been curated to show off every garment in the collection, which has been further enhanced with donations.
Visitors are offered a journey through time, beginning in Italy in the 1700s, and ending in the 20th century in the roaring twenties! This is not just an important historic collection, it is a treasure chest that you have to come and see for yourself!
