The
Eastern Greek Community Museumt of Trieste , next to the Church of St. Nicola, dedicated to the memory of Costantino and Mafalda Pisani,
is a treasure chest full of icons, paintings and sacred objects.
It is divided
into two main sections: one dedicated to the works belonging to the Orthodox tradition with icons from the fifteenth to the twentieth century and the remarkable Epitàphion, and the second is an expression of Western European culture containing the works of the Catholic tradition. Of particular value is the portraits.
The
Museo Pisani della Comunità Greco Orientale (Pisani Museum of the Eastern Greek Community) is part of the
"Open for you" network of the
TCI (Touring Club Italiano): 2,300 TCI volunteers and members throughout Italy keep more than 80 sites open to the public that would otherwise remain closed.
