Forlì Municipal Art Gallery, Art museum and picture gallery in Forlì, Italy

The Pinacoteca Civica di Forlì, named after Melozzo degli Ambrogi, is an art gallery holding works from the 13th to the 18th century, with paintings and sculptures by local and Italian artists. Since 1996 most of its collection has been housed in the former Dominican convent, now the Musei di San Domenico. Its rooms display panels by the Maestro di Forlì and Beato Angelico, and numerous works by Marco Palmezzano.

The collection took shape in the early nineteenth century, when artworks were seized from churches and monasteries in the region during the Napoleonic suppression of religious institutions. Those confiscated pieces formed the core of what the museum holds today.

The gallery holds works by artists from the Romagna region alongside names from across Italy, ranging from medieval panels to modern paintings. Moving through the rooms, you can follow how local painting styles shifted over the centuries.

The gallery occupies the former Dominican convent of San Domenico, where most of the collection has been displayed since 1996. The complex also houses the city library and other civic museums, so allow time for more than the paintings alone.

The gallery's name honours Melozzo degli Ambrogi, the Forlì-born painter known as Melozzo da Forlì, and works attributed to him are among those on show. A 2005 acquisition was Guido Cagnacci's 'Allegoria dell'Astrologia sferica'. The museum also holds the Verzocchi collection of twentieth-century Italian painting.
