AM Club | Visit to storage space

Nello storage space of the Accorsi-Ometto Museum are hosted over 700 objects, including silverware, ceramics, watches, mounted objects, chandeliers, wall sconces, paintings and sculptures, dating from the 2nd century A.D. to the second half of the 20th century. These are those objects that Pietro Accorsi bought or received as inheritances or donations, and those that Giulio Ometto collected throughout his life.

The rooms are arranged by type: starting with a series of works related to Accorsi and his biography, followed by paintings (Marco Calderini, Beech forest, circa 1900), sculptures (Davide Calandra, Horse, 1915); plasters (Ignatius and Filippo Collino, The City receiving the symbols of Peace and Commerce from Fame, circa 1790); watercolours (Various authors, Series of watercolours commissioned by the City of Turin as a gift to the Dukes of Aosta, Kings of Spain, for the birth of their second son, 1869-1870); fixé sous verre (Giovanni Migliara, The passage of the Great St. Bernard Pass by the French army led by Napoleon e Napoleon's Tomb at St Helena, 1920s). It finally concludes with The Seven Sacraments, by Pierre Charles Trémolières around 1733 and with a series of works of decorative art, such as the confessional“ armchair”, from the house of the Counts Bogino, from the mid-18th century; the pair of “wild” shaped potholders” of Venetian manufacture or the stools of Piedmontese manufacture, made in the early 18th century.
