Palazzo Carciotti will be the headquarters of the Hub, featuring an innovative design by Carlo Ratti.
A neoclassical masterpiece
overlooking the Rive di Trieste.
A place that has been telling, for over two centuries, the story of the dialogue between vision, courage and the future.
Built in 1798 by architect Matteo Pertsch for the Greek merchant Demetrio Carciotti, the palace stands out for its 4,000 square meters, two monumental façades and a rich sculptural decoration. Ten allegorical figures preserve the memory of the city and the family that commissioned it.
From 1832 to 1865, it was the headquarters of Assicurazioni Generali, founded in 1831. And it was in these very rooms that Pasquale Revoltella, entrepreneur and patron of the arts, grasped the epochal potential of the Suez Canal, opening new development routes and global connections to Trieste.
Today, Palazzo Carciotti returns to what it has always been: a crossroads of ideas, people, perspectives.
With the AgorAI project, this iconic place transforms into a living ecosystem, where past and vision intertwine to generate new possibilities.
Where historical heritage meets innovation.
Where the city rediscovers a space designed to create the future.
