Palazzo Pinto

Palazzo Pinto, Provincial art gallery in Salerno, Italy.

Palazzo Pinto is a palace in central Salerno that houses an art gallery with multiple exhibition spaces and historical rooms on its interior. The building spans several floors and displays works from various periods.

The Pinto family, documented in Salerno from the 13th century, held this palace until 1910, when Baron Gennaro Pinto bequeathed it to the provincial administration and the San Giovanni di Dio hospital. From 1910 to 1961 the provincial library occupied the first floor. On 15 March 1944 the Istituto Superiore di Magistero was founded here, the first step in the city's university revival.

The first floor has housed the Pinacoteca provinciale since February 2001, with works ranging from the Renaissance to the first half of the 20th century. The palace also hosts the Enoteca Provinciale, reached through the 15th-century courtyard opened to the public in September 2012. The street it faces, Via dei Mercanti, was historically lined with shops and craft workshops.

The palace sits in an easy-to-reach location downtown and is within walking distance of many other attractions. It is wise to check ahead whether exhibitions are open on the day you plan to visit.

The medieval core of Palazzo Pinto, built over older structures, preserves Romanesque vestiges: wide arches facing the vicolo dei Pinto and frames with polychrome inlays of grey tufa from Fratte and yellow tufa, linked to Norman architecture of the 11th and 12th centuries. The Catalan lowered arch in piperno on the ground floor, flanked by two capitals with floral carving, survives from the 15th-century remodelling.
