Francesco Podesti Civic Art Gallery

Since 1973, the Francesco Podesti Civic Art Gallery in Ancona has been housed in the historic Palazzo Bosdari in via Pizzecolli, to which a new building has recently been added which has allowed the entrance to be moved to vicolo Foschi, a small street next to the church of Santa Maria della Piazz a, and the drafting of an artistic story that alternates ancient, modern and contemporary.

The collection of the Pinacoteca di Ancona, one of the most important in the Marche region, traces the artistic history of the region from the Middle Ages to the present day, boasting absolute masterpieces including the marvelous "Pala Gozzi" by Tiziano Vecellio , the first autographed work of the Venetian master, the " Madonna with Child” by Carlo Crivelli , the “Sacred Conversation”, also known as the “Alabarda Altarpiece”, by Lorenzo Lotto , and works by Sebastiano Del Piombo , Andrea Lilli , Guercino , Francesco Podesti and many others.

The Museum also houses an important collection of 20th-century works, with examples by Bartolini, Bucci, Cagli, Trubbiani, Cucchi and other contemporary artists largely linked to the history of the prestigious "Premio Marche". In the new layout of the Pinacoteca di Ancona there is a section dedicated to temporary exhibitions of contemporary artists.
