Parking
Parking in Trieste is very difficult. We suggest using the paid parking space at Eataly. This is a franchise store where you can buy first-class Italian specialties. It’s a little more expensive store, but the quality of all the products they sell is top notch. And if you shop there, they discount your parking fee.

The Revoltella Museum is an important modern art gallery born from the development of an institution founded in 1872 by the will of Baron Pasquale Revoltella (1795-1869) who in his will ordered to leave his palace, his art collection and a substantial income which allowed the assets to increase year after year and quickly build a considerable art collection.
Already at the end of the 19th century there were famous Italian authors such as Hayez, Morelli, Favretto, Nono, Palizzi and Previati, as well as many foreigners. At the turn of the two centuries, thanks to the acquisitions made at the Venetian Biennials, the collections were further enriched with works of great value, such as the famous painting Lady with the Dog (1878) by De Nittis. During the 20th century, the Museum became an increasingly prestigious cultural institution and an important reference for modern and contemporary art, representing all the most significant names of 20th century Italian art, including Casorati, Sironi, Carrà, Mascherini, Bolaffio, Morandi, De Chirico, Manzù, Marini, Fontana and Burri. Also of considerable interest are the exhibitions, which have given significant scientific contributions to the knowledge of the art of the last two centuries. In the 1960s the museum further expanded by acquiring the nearby Palazzo Brunner, where, through a long renovation work, begun in 1968 based on a design by Carlo Scarpa and completed in 1991, new exhibition spaces were created for the art gallery modern.
