Pinacoteca Comunale di Cesena

The Pinacoteca Comunale di Cesena is an art museum displaying paintings spanning from the 15th century to the present day, including notable works by Guercino, Francesco Raibolini, and Giovanni Battista Piazzetta. The collection fills multiple rooms with hundreds of pieces that show the evolution of painting styles and artistic approaches across different eras.

The collection began in the 19th century through acquisitions following Napoleonic suppressions and later received donations from charitable institutions and private collections. After several relocations, the museum found its permanent home in 1984 within a former monastery building.

The gallery displays works by local and regional artists, offering insight into how artistic traditions shaped this area over time. Visitors can see how different generations of painters approached their craft and what subjects mattered most to them.

The museum is housed in a former monastery building and is easily accessible on foot from the city center, with rooms arranged in a logical way for easy navigation. Plan to spend a comfortable amount of time for your visit, and be aware that navigating the historic spaces involves some stairs.

The museum has occupied a former monastery called San Biagio since 1984, giving the collection an added historical dimension beyond the artworks themselves. The building's architecture and past as a religious space contribute meaningfully to what visitors experience during their visit.
