The idea of collecting the Fantoni family’s immense artistic heritage came to the last descendant of the family, who in 1968 gathered documents, works, sketches in the family’s old house-workshop in Rovetta.
The inlayer Andrea Fantoni, who lived at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, is surely the most famous exponent; yet, other members of the family were noteworthy artists: inlayers primarily, but also literary men and printers.
Among the exhibits in the House Museum, you will see many sacred furnishings and devotional images, sketches and models of the works, as well as portraits and various documents such as account books, letters, and contracts.
