Artistic itineraries in the territory of Cittā di Castello
Shows, collections, but also frescos and paintings of this portion of
Umbria have an elevated artistic importance. Departing from
Cittā 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 Cittā 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.
