Artistic itineraries in the territory of Città di Castello

Shows, collections, but also frescos and paintings of this portion of Umbria have an elevated artistic importance. Departing from Città di Castello, it is necessary to remember that is the country of a celebrated artist and revered teacher of the new contemporary tendencies: Alberto Burri. The donation of 257 works have made possible to prepare two exhibitions, Palazzo Albizzini and the Palazzi degli Ex Seccatoi del Tabacco (Ex Tobacco Drying-Rooms), where is possible to reconstruct the whole artistic itinerary of Burri. Another art symbol place is Palazzo Vitelli alla Cannoniera, inside which there’s the Communal Picture-Gallery, second for importance only to the National Gallery of Perugia. Rafael, Rosso Fiorentino, Cristofano Gherardi, Vasari, Signorelli are all artists that have left the sign and their testimony to Città di Castello, whose work can be admired in the marvellous Palazzo Vitelli.

Even in Umbertidethe Centre for the Contemporary Art has recently risen thanks to the donation of a conspicuous number of works realized by the famous painter Giovanni Ciangottini, allowing the Rocca to collect the precious paintings.
