Pinacoteca civica of Varallo

Pinacoteca civica of Varallo, Art museum in Varallo Sesia, Italy.

The Pinacoteca Civica is located in the Palazzo dei Musei and displays paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts from the region across multiple levels. The collection spans from medieval times to the 19th century and documents the artistic development of the Valsesia area.

The Pinacoteca grew out of the Esposizione Artistica Valsesiana held in 1885 for the celebrations of Gaudenzio Ferrari; the following year it opened with two rooms. Its first curator was the painter Giulio Arienta, who compiled the first catalogue in 1902. The Bartolomeo Avondo donation of 22 September 1915 led the society to be recognised by royal decree, and in the late 1950s the collection moved into the Palazzo dei Musei.

The collection shows works from different periods of the region and provides insight into the artistic development of the Valsesia area. The medieval sculptures and frescoes in particular illustrate how artistic taste changed over the centuries.

The museum is organized in numbered rooms with medieval art starting on the first floor and works from the 19th century on the upper levels. The layout is easy to follow and a comfortable visit takes about two to three hours.

The museum holds about 3,300 works in total, including the Franchi Collection of Italian majolica and the Remogna family's paintings from the 15th to the 20th century, the latter temporarily housed in the Church of San Carlo. Its drawings by Gaudenzio Ferrari, Tanzio da Varallo, Morazzone and Cerano are a lesser-known part of the holdings.
