The exhibition of minerals from the "Fulvio Grazioli" Collection is set up in the halls of the historic Palazzo Martinengo, thanks to the availability of the Municipality of Sondrio, the Grazioli family and the collaboration of the Valtellinese Institute of Mineralogy (IVM). Prof. Grazioli (1913-1991) assembled one of the richest and most complete regional collections existing in Italy, consisting of about 12,000 samples found in Valmalenco and in a few other areas of the province of Sondrio. His passion for minerals began in 1925, thanks to the knowledge of Pietro Sigismund, pioneer of mineralogical exploration in the province of Sondrio. Grazioli discovered 12 new sites of discovery, and 31 species of minerals, then new to Valmalenco, some of which are of great scientific interest. The exhibition was later combined with other important minerals from the province, coming from the collections of the IVM, the Bombardieri Foundation and the Provincial Administration of Sondrio.
