Guglielmo Coronini

I grew up amid art and history and I have always wished everybody could have the same chance. That is why I transformed my palace into a museum, open to the public.

Dear visitor, I am count Guglielmo Coronini Cronberg and I welcome you to my Palace! To manage the family assets I studied agriculture and law but art and history have always been my passion. Two wars have marked my life and the lives of my loved ones. I have traveled a lot but Gorizia is my home. Here I organized exhibitions, I published books on the history of the city, I founded the local branch of “Italia Nostra”, and was for years one of the main animators of cultural life. To prevent the heritage of art and history accumulated over the centuries by my family went missing, I created a foundation to which I entrusted my goods and my dream: to revive to all visitors the charm and atmosphere of past centuries!
