Palacio Baburizza[editar]
Palacio Baburizza was built upon request from one of the most important families of Valparaiso, the Zanelli family. It was purchased in 1925 by Pascual Baburizza, a distinguished investor in saltpeter mines who managed to have an important fortune in Chile, which was largely devoted to philanthropic works[1]. The palace is eclectic in style with clear Art Nouveau elements in its façade and a variety of ornamental elements like towers and columns. The style is also represented by its volumetric units given by the balconies, bow-windows, terraces and attics. Inside, the carved wooden copper-coated door stands out. The dining room has a unique renaissance-style fireplace built on marble and decorated with embossed medallions and braids, and above it, a fine linen tapestry from the 18th century. In 1971, the palace was bought by the local government of Valparaiso to be used as a museum and a school of Fine Arts.[2] Today, it gathers an important collection of works; many of these bequeathed by Pascual Baburizza. Mauricio Rugendas, Alfredo Valenzuela Puelma, Alfredo Helsby and Carlos Hermosilla Álvarez are among the most important painters. [3] [4]
