Who was Margherita, really? Margherita Cambiagio was the granddaughter of the Friulian noblewoman Lucia de Reya and the Sicilian baron <strong>Rosario Curr\u00f2<\/strong>. The biographies of Curr\u00f2 portray an unforgettable figure \u2014 his gait slightly bent, his mustache \u00e0 la Napoleon III, and above all, his boundless generosity. A generosity that earned him honors and memorials \u2014 like the marble bust one encounters on the staircase, sculpted in 1882 by <strong>Giovanni Depaul<\/strong>, one of the rare prominent figures in Triestine sculpture of the late nineteenth century; or portraits, such as the one we see here, in the so-called \u201cVenetian Corridor,\u201d commissioned around 1875 from one of the fathers of modern Triestine art: Eugenio Scomparini. Rosario Curr\u00f2\u2019s name appears even in the first Italian <strong>manuals<\/strong> for aspiring workers \u2014 collections of viri illustres who had distinguished themselves by their professional merit and were presented as examples for young apprentices to follow.<\/p><p>Rosario was born in 1813 to a family of modest merchants from the area of Catania. Suspected of political conspiracy, he was arrested by the Bourbons, forced to abandon his studies, and to devote himself to the struggling family business. In 1835, seeking to change his fate, he embarked for <strong>America<\/strong> with a shipment of citrus fruits \u2014 returning home with coffee, tobacco, and timber. But it was here, in Trieste, that his true fortune began. Two years after that voyage, in 1837, he settled in the city and founded his import-export company, \u201cFratelli Curr\u00f2.\u201d From then on, his life became the very emblem of the <strong>self-made man<\/strong>: a story of commerce and success, of great wealth accompanied by public offices and honors \u2014 both Italian and Austrian. There was, however, one final enterprise that crowned a lifetime of achievements: in <strong>1876<\/strong>, the city of Catania appointed him to the delegation sent to Paris to oversee the exhumation and return to Italy of the remains of composer <strong>Vincenzo Bellini<\/strong>, buried at P\u00e8re-Lachaise. It was the legendary Translation of Bellini\u2019s Ashes \u2014 an event immortalized by Lorenzo Gatteri in a painting now housed at the Schmidl Theatre Museum in Trieste \u2014 one of those tales, poised between hagiography and national propaganda, that nourished the identity of a young nation.<\/p><p>From the union of Rosario Curr\u00f2 and Lucia de Reya were born four children: Antonietta, Adele (the woman portrayed in the oval frame), Rosario Junior (whom we shall meet later in the Living Room), and Vittoria. <strong>Adele Curr\u00f2<\/strong> married her father\u2019s business partner, Luigi Cambiagio, and their union brought forth <strong>Margherita<\/strong> \u2014 whom we may admire here in profile, portrayed with almost Renaissance grace by her youngest daughter, Alice Psacaropulo. In 1909, Margherita married a merchant of Greek origin, Giovanni Psacaropulo \u2014 known to all as \u201cIanni.\u201d From their union were born three children: Giorgio, Adelina, and Alessandro \u2014 architect and sculptor, a pupil of Attilio Selva in Rome \u2014 who would later play a decisive role in introducing the young Alice to the artistic circles of Venice.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06e45f9 sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"06e45f9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-92a7262 scheme_dark elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"92a7262\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-53befe2 sc_content_align_inherit sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"53befe2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60210dd sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"60210dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3baf611 sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-trx_widget_audio\" data-id=\"3baf611\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"trx_widget_audio.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"widget_area sc_widget_audio\"><aside class=\"widget widget_audio\"><div class=\"trx_addons_audio_wrap\">\n\t\t<div class=\"trx_addons_audio_list\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"trx_addons_audio_player\n\t\t\t\t with_cover\t    \t\t\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n                    <div class=\"trx_addons_audio_player_image\"\n                     style=\"background-image:url(\/\/www.studiopsacaropulo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/SanGiusto.jpg);\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"trx_addons_audio_player_wrap\">\n                    \t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"audio_info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"audio_now_playing\">The Art Collection<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"audio_caption\">1.

In fact, it is a detail from a larger painting depicting the great philanthropist, once paired with a \u201cfortunate\u201d portrait of his wife, the Friulian noblewoman Lucia de Reya.  This bourgeois tradition of commissioning portraits was continued by their only son, Rosario Junior, whose artistic legacy is largely preserved in the Revoltella Museum in Trieste \u2014 with the exception of his own portrait, now displayed in the living room. That portrait, painted by another eminent local artist, Carlo Wostry (Trieste, 1865\u20131943), echoes the same monumental pathos found in his celebrated Martyrdom of Saint Justus in Trieste\u2019s cathedral.  <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"audio_frame audio_local\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<audio data-src=\"https:\/\/www.studiopsacaropulo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/en-2b-1.mp3\" data-cover=\"\/\/www.studiopsacaropulo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Curro.jpg\" data-caption=\"2.

The circumstances of this painting\u2019s arrival in the collection remain uncertain \u2014 perhaps a wedding gift to Margherita and \u201cIanni\u201d Psacaropulo from one of their many Greek guests; or perhaps it portrays a yet unidentified relative of the Curr\u00f2\u2013Psacaropulo lineage. \n Iakovidis also portrayed Trieste\u2019s nobility during his stay \u2014 his splendid Baroness Economo is now kept at the Castle of Muggia.  Another artist of Greek descent represented here is painter and printmaker Elettra Metallin\u00f2 (Trieste, 1932\u20132025). To the right appears Mirella Schott Sbis\u00e0 (Trieste, 1921\u20132015), one of Alice Psacaropulo\u2019s dearest friends, also the creator of the two ceramic napkin rings in the living room, made to mark the first ten years of the Trieste section of Soroptimist International \u2014 a section founded by the two friends among others. \n Alice and Mirella were immortalized together in Carlo Sbis\u00e0\u2019s luminous Solfeggio Lesson (1943).      <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"audio_frame audio_local\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<audio data-src=\"https:\/\/www.studiopsacaropulo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/en-2c-1.mp3\" data-cover=\"\/\/www.studiopsacaropulo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Elette-signore.jpg\" data-caption=\"3. \u201cElected Ladies\u201d: women in the collection\" data-author=\"\" class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-47510-4\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.studiopsacaropulo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/en-2c-1.mp3?_=4\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.studiopsacaropulo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/en-2c-1.mp3\">https:\/\/www.studiopsacaropulo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/en-2c-1.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div><\/aside><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5fb16d sc_height_huge sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"f5fb16d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-65c9b8f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"65c9b8f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e623788 sc_content_align_inherit sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"e623788\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7890cf2 sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"7890cf2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Garden Next Room Audioguide The family of Alice Psacaropulo The Venetian Corridor https:\/\/www.studiopsacaropulo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/en-2-141125-17.49-1.mp3 But what was the connection between Margherita Cambiagio and Alice Psacaropulo?
