Pinacoteca civica di Ascoli Piceno
Pinacoteca civica di Ascoli Piceno, Art museum in Piazza Arringo, Ascoli Piceno, Italy
The Pinacoteca Civica occupies the Palazzo dell'Arengo on Piazza Arringo and displays more than 800 artworks across several rooms. The interior features pink marble floors and Murano chandeliers that add to the refined setting.
The museum was established in 1861 when collectors gathered artworks from local monasteries after religious orders departed from the city. This assembly of pieces became the foundation of an important regional art collection.
The collection features paintings by Italian masters from different periods, including works by Carlo Crivelli and Cola dell'Amatrice that show the range of regional artistic traditions. These pieces reveal how art developed across different times in this part of Italy.
The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday, so checking hours before your visit will help you plan your time there. The location on Piazza Arringo is easy to find, though the setting in a historic palazzo means stairs and narrow passages connect the rooms.
Among the holdings is a 13th-century liturgical vestment that Pope Nicholas IV gave to Ascoli Cathedral in 1288. This piece reveals the historical connection between the city and papal authority of that era.
