Descriptive Note Text

This black-and-white photo postcard shows the Pavilion of Music, which was directly connected to the Pavilion of Festivals and Concerts. The Pavilion of Festivals and Concerts, in turn, included the Electricity Hall, the Display of the Marvels of Electricity, the exhibit of Professional Teaching, and the Swiss Exhibition. The facades of these interconnected buildings were admirable for their elegant proportions and the richness of architectural detail. Among the decorations, the Guida Tricolore mentions two fountains with a statue of Neptune created by Gaetano Cellini, a group of allegorical statues symbolizing music made by Michelangelo Monti, and the remarkable sculptures created by sculptors Cesare Biscarra and Guido Bianconi.
