On the second floor of Palazzo Zuckermann is the Bottacin Museum, which houses a collection, mainly numismatics, donated by the merchant Nicola Bottacin from Trieste to the city of Padua in 1865. The rooms ideally recall the rooms of Bottacin’s villa in Trieste. There are paintings, furniture, antique weapons and sculptures.
An entire section is dedicated to the more than 20 thousand pieces in the collection of coins and medals, ordered in chronological order, starting from pre-Roman examples, to republican and imperial period issues, medieval coins and Venetian coins, of which the Bottacin collection is one of the most complete in the world.
