The Museo Casa di Osiride Brovedani was conceived as a return to origins.


It all began at Via Alberti 6. Osiride lived there with his wife Fernanda, holding business meetings in the living room and using the dining room table as a desk. But it was in the basement that the Fissan company started life, in 1930.

The goal of the Museum is to become a place of memory, making the figure of Osiride Brovedani familiar to local people, especially school children and the young.

The exhibition is organised in five sections arranged chronologically, each with a different emphasis.

The exhibition covers highlights of Osiride Brovedani’s life, from childhood to work as a journalist, passing through the first Fissan factory in the basement, the trauma of deportation, and his return to the post-war free world, bursting with rediscovered energy. His passion for photography and mountains, and the incredible expansion of Fissan, belong to this latter period.

In the 70s and 80s, the Brovedani Foundation, the Convitto boarding school and the Casa Albergo old people’s home were established.
