Museo Civico di Palazzo Cuttica, Art museum in Alessandria, Italy.
The Museo Civico di Palazzo Cuttica is an art museum in Alessandria housing regional artworks, including two Flemish tapestries and archaeological objects from pre-Roman and Roman periods. The collections also feature a print cabinet with modern and antique prints.
The palace was built in the 18th century for Marquis Luigi Cuttica and served as the Prefecture of Marengo in 1806 during the Napoleonic period. The building thus preserves an important chapter of northern Italy's political history.
The museum displays illuminated choral manuscripts commissioned for the Dominican convent of Santa Croce, alongside sacred paintings from the Piedmont region. These works reflect the area's religious artistic heritage.
The museum is typically accessible on weekends and housed in a historic palace in central Alessandria, making it easy to visit. Visitors should note that regular opening hours are limited and reservations may be recommended.
The Gabinetto delle Stampe, set up in 2004, gathers about 2,000 prints: old maps, city views and engravings by contemporary artists, held in the Villa, Bozzetti, Carbonati, Annone, Sassi and Pozzi collections.
