Palazzo Brambilla Morpurgo

Where Largo Papa Giovanni XXIII, 6, Trieste

The building, which since 1998 is the seat of the State Library, was built between 1840 and 1843 by architect Francesco Bruyn (Trieste, 1792-1859). The client, Giuseppe Brambilla, there never lived, and ceded first rent and then for sale to Elio Morpurgo, whose heirs held it until 1924. After being - between the wars - the headquarters of the Fascist Militia and the Fascist Syndicate of industrial workers, in 1983 it became ownership of the trade union confederations CGIL, CISL and UIL. Declared, in 1988, "building of particular interest" (Law 1089/39), it was acquired by the Ministry of Culture and Environment, who took care following the complete restoration. The building, from the outside neoclassical lines, reflecting the taste of upper-class society of the time for the decorative richness of the interior and the variety of styles adopted. The rooms were renovated several times to second fashion, as evidenced yet the frescoes of various inspiration and stucco that enrich the ceilings of the main floor rooms, that the recent restoration allows it to fully appreciate. It allowed the visit to the first floor rooms for small groups of people, on request to staff on duty.
