Palazzo della Penna, Renaissance palace in central Perugia, Italy

The palace spans four levels and incorporates ancient structures, including parts of the Roman Marzio amphitheater and medieval city walls.

The noble Arcipreti della Penna family established an art collection in the 17th century, leading to the building's transformation into a museum.

The museum exhibits two permanent collections featuring works by Gerardo Dottori, representing Umbrian Futurism, and Joseph Beuys' Opera Unica boards.

The museum connects three floors through a modern helicoidal staircase designed by architect Franco Minissi in the 1980s.

The first floor contains the Room of Landscapes, with full-wall views painted by set designer Pasquale Angelini during the early 1800s.
