Located in the same library where he loved to spend hours with the great, European classics, this small, central museum is perhaps the only one in Europe that is devoted to Ettore Schmitz. Better known by his nom de plume, Italo Svevo, he was a famous writer who was born in Trieste on December 19, 1861. Here his personal books are kept alongside his most important editions, translations and critical texts about him. A violin lover and an author of books such as Senilità (As a Man Grows Older, 1898) and La Coscienza di Zeno (The Confessions of Zeno, 1923), which is also his most complex and fascinating work, he studied in Bavaria at the college of Segnitz before working in the Trieste branch of the Union Bank of Vienna. He married Liva Veneziani, daughter of a famous man who produced rust resistant paint for boats. He entered into the family business and traveled extensively for this, mostly to France and England. As a result he gained a good knowledge of languages and met James Joyce, who was teaching at the Berlitz school of Trieste. Svevo is considered to be the most famous Trieste writer and one of the masters of contemporary Italian literature. He died in September 1928 in a car accident near Motta di Livenza.
