Siviero Museum, Tuscany Travel Guide

Museum Casa Rodolfo Siviero - Rodolfo Siviero in his will in 1983 left the house and furnishings to the Region of Tuscany. It is home to the private collection of the "James Bond of the art world" renowned for his work in recovering a great number of art works stolen from Italy during the Second World War.

Siviero Museum is situated at the ground floor of the fine Neo-Renaissance building on the bank of the River Arno where Rodolfo Siviero lived from 1944 until his death in 1983.
Rodolfo Siviero was a keen collector and refined intellectual; he managed to collect many works of Ancient art among which Etruscan findings; Ancient Roman busts; 14th and 15th century wooden statues; medieval paintings, Renaissance and Baroque pictures, bronzes, terra-cottas, liturgical objects and beautiful furniture. Also, he collected a group of works of important Italian modern artists who were friends of Siviero.

The Museum - House reflects the personality of its owner who loved art so deeply and it has the same kind of charm you can find in the palaces full of magnificent art collections in Florence. The museum is a document of the taste and way of life of the educated 20 century Florentine middle-class and it gives the possibility of visiting the private treasures of a "James Bond" of the art world.

The museum also hosts exhibitions and other cultural events entrusted by Region Toscana.
