The Sitting Room

Near the window, on a dressing table, there is an Oriental rosewood miniature cabinet, used for the sewing tools of Countess Nicoletta (1896-1984), Guglielmo Coronini‘s sister. In the corner there is a decorated wardrobe door from the 18th century hiding a small private area with a washbasin.

Above the Biedermeier sofa and the game table from the 18th century there are some major paintings: two en pendant views by Antonio Joli (1700-1777) with the Gulf of Naples and the Royal Procession to Piedigrotta, the Portrait of Maria Teresa Cobenzl Palffy by Bernard Verschoot (1728-1783) and Venus and Cupid by Giuseppe Tominz (1790-1866).

On the chest of drawer, on the left-hand side of the sofa, there is a dated and autographed picture of Tsar Nicholas II Romanov, whom Olga Westphalen von Fürstenberg, Guglielmo’s mother, met when she was young. On the left-hand side there are some family pictures: Guglielmo, his parents Olga and Carlo, and his brother and sister, Francesco and Nicoletta. On the left-hand side of the stove, on a bureau, there are two neoclassic candle holders and a plaster bust of Marshall Radetzky. Above it there is the Portrait of Emperor Joseph II.
