The Italian Consulate General’s Società Operaia Garibaldi Gallery: Documents and Artwork Witnessing 150 Years of Italian History in Istanbul

Öz

The Società Operaia Italiana di Mutuo Soccorso in Costantinopoli (The

Italian Workers’ Association) was founded in 1863, in Beyoğlu/Pera and

Giuseppe Garibaldi was its founding president. The existing building of

the Association dates back to 1885 and it was last restored in 1909; after

more than a century it needed further restoration and modernization.

The Garibaldi Gallery inside the Consulate General of Italy in Istanbul

was created to host the artworks (mainly statues, paintings, and textiles),

the precious documents (architectural drawings, letters, registers,

and meeting minutes) and the historic books that belong to the Association

during the restoration process, to make sure they remain accessible even

while the building remains closed to public.
