Palazzo Fortuny

Known earlier as Palazzo Pesaro degli Orfei, the building was the house and atelier of Mariano Fortuny; his widow Henriette left it and its collections to the Comune in 1956, and it opened to the public as a museum in 1975. After refurbishment works it reopened as a permanent museum rather than an exhibition venue, and it still shows contemporary work in the gothic halls.
