Museo Sveviano

The Swabian Museum in Trieste is dedicated to Aron Hector Schmitz, otherwise known as Italo Svevo who became famous after the publication of his novel “The Consciousness of Zeno”. Before his success, he lived a normal life as a bank clerk. Many of the objects left were destroyed during the bombings of 1945. The Museum keeps letters to family members and other writers, the gold pen given by his wife, plays, photographs, his violin.
