Casa dei Carraresi

Inaugurated in 1987, after extensive renovations by the Cassamarca Foundation, the Casa dei Carraresi (Carraresi' House) complex - Ca' dei Brittoni represents a reference point in the Treviso cultural panorama which cannot be ignored. As the Cassamarca conference and exhibition centre.?The modern meeting room and exhibition spaces are in fact available at no charge to the Treviso public and have for years hosted the Foundations' grand exhibitions, which have encompassed not only the work of local painters but also international shows and conferences. In the year 2000 alone, Carraresi House hosted 242 events (conferences, exhibitions, meetings, concerts, etc.) and welcomed around 340,000 visitors, which demonstrates an increase in attendance and interest. Following its excellent restoration, the building, which dates back to the 13th century, harmoniously combines its ancient structure (richly decorated and frescoed in the Britton rooms) and modern functions through the symbiosis of new and old materials. The result is an antique exterior (around 2,670 m2) which encloses a modern, efficient interior at the service of the city.
