Exhibition "Carlo Marchesetti, encyclopedic scientist"

Description

The year 2026 marks the centenary of the death of Carlo de Marchesetti (Trieste, January 17, 1850 – April 1, 1926), a figure of great importance to the scientific and cultural history of Trieste and Venezia Giulia. To mark the occasion, the Municipality of Trieste is dedicating an exhibition to the scholar that traces the milestones of his life, his scholarly work, his discoveries, his travels, and his most significant publications, while also drawing upon the many diaries and correspondence held in the Municipality of Trieste’s Diplomatic Archive. Through the display of photographs, books, notebooks, archaeological finds from excavations at the Santa Lucia di Tolmino necropolis, fossils, minerals, geological maps, personal correspondence, herbarium specimens, and entomological collections, the exhibition portrays Carlo de Marchesetti as an individual and—across its various sections—highlights the many diverse interests that drove his professional and scientific endeavors.
Free admission Open Wednesday to Sunday, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
