Gaffoglio Museum
The Attilio and Cleofe Gaffoglio Civic Museum houses precious collections of decorative arts in gold, ivory, porcelain, sculptures and paintings dating back from the 13th century to the 20th century, which Attilio Gaffoglio collected in his home over the last forty years.
At the beginning of the year 2000 he donated about 300 articles and pieces of antique art to the Municipality of Rapallo including porcelain, majolica, silver and ivory pieces, icons and other items in various materials.
At his unexpected death, some months later, the Town of Rapallo inherited the remainder of his collection, including also numerous painting from the early 1900s.
The works of art are displayed according to the type of material and technique used to create them, and to the artistic groups and areas they pertain to.
