Museo Civico di Sanremo
Museo Civico di Sanremo occupies Palazzo Nota, a seventeenth-century building in Sanremo that once housed a Genoese commissioner. Restored rooms retain eighteenth-century stuccoes and frescoes, creating an atmospheric setting for the city’s archaeology, art, and history.
The first floor traces human presence from the Paleolithic and Bronze Age through the Roman era. Models and dioramas reconstruct past environments around prehistoric and Roman artefacts. Upstairs, the pinacoteca brings together paintings and sculptures from the seventeenth century to contemporary times. Pieter Paul Rubens, Edward Lear, Giacomo Grosso, and Maurizio Carrega appear among the artists represented there. A room devoted to Antonio Rubino displays paintings, ink drawings, miniature theatres, fabric designs, and stage sets. The historical section includes Garibaldi memorabilia once owned by Caroline Phillipson, while multimedia displays explore Sanremo’s traditions.
One especially memorable work is Rubino’s first Italian colour animated cartoon, which won the 1942 Venice award for best animated film.
