The Foriera Deposit, located beneath the Cortile del Belvedere, occupies the spaces formerly used for Navy service and connected at the time to the military dock below. Later they were used as a “warehouse” and as a place to store paintings. The space currently houses 19th-century furnishings, mostly from the rooms that now house the “Vittorio Emanuele III” National Library.
During the journey, visitors in groups of up to 25 people will be accompanied by an architect and an art historian on a route not usually accessible to the public. Through a suggestive elliptical piperno staircase it will also be possible to retrace part of the descent that leads to the current Via Acton, on the site of the ancient Arsenal.
On Sunday 24 September, instead, two shifts are planned for guided tours of the restoration laboratory and the painting storage room, during which the museum staff will illustrate to visitors the work environments in which the restorers take care of the artistic heritage of the Museum and the painting storage room, placed here in 2014 following important renovation works.
Also in this case, visits will be carried out for groups of maximum 25 people, starting at 16.30:18.30 pm and XNUMX:XNUMX pm, with mandatory reservations until all places are filled at the link: https://www.coopculture.it/it/prodotti/il-laboratorio-di-restauro-ei-depositi-quadri-e-cornici/.
