Galleria
d'Arte Moderna
Opened in 2000 nearby the noble Palazzo Collicola (this
was the seat originary planned by Giovanni Carandente, Costantino Dardi, Bruno
Mantura and Bruno Toscano in the 80's), Spoleto Modern Art Civic Gallery is made
up of three main groups: works acquired by Premio Spoleto, that took place
from 1953 to 1968 to create the Civic Gallery; the Leoncillo Leonardi area,
dedicated to the great sculptor from Spoleto, to whom four rooms are dedicated;
the Giovanni Carandente collection, more than 20.000 volumes given by the
renowned historical and art critical.
On the ground floor there are works by
young umbrian artists, while on the first floor rooms are divided for artistical
research areas of contemporary authors; here you'll find also the original outline
of Teodolapio', Alexander Calder's sculpture placed, since 1962, in the square
in front of the railway station. |
