City Gallery of Art (Galleria Comunale d'Arte)

In the beautiful setting of the Public Gardens (Giardini pubblici), the City Gallery of Modern Art is hosted in a fine Neo-Classical building. The museum displays its works on two floors and holds, as a permanent exhibition, the Ingrao Collection, with 19th and 20th century paintings and sculptures by Italian artists such as Umberto Boccioni, to whom an entire room is dedicated, Giorgio Morandi and Mino Maccari, among many others. On the ground floor is the Sardinian Collection (Collezione Sarda), displaying a selection of works by Sardinian artists. The museum has a well-stocked shop, with a fairly large selection of books and souvenirs. Guided tours in English or French to be booked in advance.
