The Torrini Museum
totally destroyed during the last world war and as a result of the dramatic flood of 1966.
The Torrini Museum is not just a "collection" of objects; it is not limited to housing only passively-conserved wonders; it does not aim to be simply a place of explanations, of aesthetic contemplation, nor of an exaltation of the past. It is a way to conserve the signs of the Torrini family’s past as goldsmiths and to transmit the value of their "artistic gifts".
The Torrini Museum has a soul, and its soul is a Passion. Its raison d’être is to try and transmit a Passion for Beauty, the sentiment which has guided the Torrini family over the span of more than six centuries in aspiring to this ideal and expressing it, realising their creations with humility and great artistry.
