The old palace belonged the tenor Gian Battista Rubini, from Romano, is currently a museum dedicated to his memory.
The palazzo features a late-neoclassical style: you can admire frescos, stuccos and Venetian mosaic-pavements, while the internal court is paved with the Rubini Family coat of arms, with three circles representing the gems (rubies, “Rubini” in Italian).
The Museum was established in 1872 at the behest of the tenor’s widow: it is currently hosted in 5 rooms on the ground floor, including the “billiard room” with Rubini’s private life items, or the “Pirate’s room”, with his artistic career’s memorabilia, where he used to give great parties. You will also find some extremely valuable masterpieces, such as Giovan Battista Moroni’s Last Supper, Caniana’s works and others made by contemporary artists like Trento Longaretti.
