On the 19th and 20th October 2024 the University of Trieste will open the Rectorate Art Gallery's doors on the occasion of the 13th edition of the FAI Autumn Days, an event promoted by the National Trust for Italy (Fondo per l'Ambiente Italiano - FAI). The visits, available only by reservation, will be in three sessions, at 11:00, at 12:00 and at 16:00, offering the public the opportunity to explore a hidden art treasure.

Through a route winding between the two foyers, the Cammarata Hall, the Rectiorate’s corridor and the Bachelet Hall, visitors will be able to discover the Pinacoteca's rich collection. The works, acquired following the Esposizione Nazionale di Pittura Italiana Contemporanea (National Exhibition of Contemporary Italian Painting), held in the University's Main Hall in December 1953, reflect the various Italian art movements of the post-war period, with paintings by artists such as Giuseppe Santomaso, Afro Basaldella and Nino Perizi. Today, the Pinacoteca houses a total of 37 works, representing an important testimony to the richness and variety of 20th century Italian painting trends.
