Palazzo Pinto

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 building came under the control of the Pinto family beginning in the 18th century, who shaped it until the early 20th century. After the family left, the palace passed to provincial ownership and later served as a public art museum.

The art collection inside displays works by regional artists and documents crafts traditions that locals have passed down through generations in Salerno. Visitors can see how artists from the area portrayed their surroundings and what subjects mattered most to them.

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 building underwent major repairs following a severe earthquake in the 1980s and received modern safety reinforcements. These strengthening measures are exemplary for protecting historic structures in seismically active areas.
