Tartini House is one of the oldest houses that encircle Tartini Square.
Municipal documents from 1384 mention it as the Gothic building “Casa Pizagura”; later its exterior was renovated in the Neoclassical style. Here it was the Giuseppe Tartini was born.
On the 1st floor there is the Tartini Memorial Room, containing the objects the artist left to his family. The most interesting exhibits are; a post mortem mask, the master’s violin, the music score pages, the copper engraving which portrays Tartini’s dreams, and an oil painting – portrait of Tartini*

I wonder if the violin is worth lot of money? I liked your view of the square very much.
The violin is still played regularly. In this picture one of the strings is broken due to the violin being played in a recent performance.
I love the fact the the violin is a living instrument and still being played
