At the Bailo Museum in Treviso, new exhibition spaces on the second floor are about to be opened to the public, including two galleries that had never been accessible to visitors since the museum’s last structural renovation completed in 2022. The opening will be held on Friday, November 28, 2025 at 11:30 a.m. The spaces, characterized by an elegant and refined layout, will host a selection of works partly unpublished and partly already belonging to the collections of the Civic Museums. The collections dedicated to Lino Selvatico and Arturo Martini will find their place, enriched by recent acquisitions that complete the itinerary dedicated to these two protagonists of Venetian art, as well as important figures also on the international scene, of the first decades of the 20th century.
The recent donation of a rich nucleus of works by Lino Selvatico, which includes about sixty paintings, numerous graphic works and historical photographs, will be enhanced in two rooms entirely devoted to his production.
Arturo Martini ’s sculptures belonging to the Furlan collection, on the other hand, will find a new location in the small rooms on the second floor adjacent to the rooms dedicated to Selvatico. In addition to some significant examples of the Treviso sculptor’s youthful activity, the itinerary will allow visitors to admire the large plaster cast of the sculpture Tobiolo (1934), formerly belonging to the collections of Veneto Banca spa and now, thanks to this intervention, once again returned to public view.
In addition, on Wednesday, November 26, at 6 p.m., the Bailo Museum will host the presentation of Valentina Casarotto’s book, Il segreto nello sguardo. Memoirs of Rosalba Carriera, Europe’s first female painter, recently reissued.
