Galleria dei Rettori is a small but important part of the art and culture of Trieste. It’s hidden among the alleys of the old city behind Piazza della Borsa and Piazza dell’Unità dell’Italia. This sophisticated and chic gallery exhibits around 30 paintings concentrating on contemporary local and national artists without favouring any particular genre or taste, including graphics, abstract art, hyper-realistic art, portraits and landscapes. With a knowledgeable staff, they prefer a mix of artists and style in the exhibitions they hold.
