PALAZZO COLLICOLA ARTI VISIVE - CARANDENTE COLLECTION
The Palazzo Collicola Arti Visive museum is located in the historic center of Spoleto within the homonymous palace.
Together with the Burri Collection of Città di Castello, it is one of the most important contemporary art museums in Umbria. A lively museum, active pole of contemporary art, it also houses a library full of more than twenty thousand volumes on contemporary art, the legacy of the critic and art historian Giovanni Carandente which is also entitled the museum.
The museum unfolds in the 15 rooms on the ground floor and in those on the first floor of the building. On the ground floor the Carandente donation is preserved, which includes works by internationally renowned Italian and foreign artists. The collection includes works by Alexander Calder, Lynn Chadwick, Henri Moore, Sol LeWitt, Richard Serra, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Beverly Pepper, Ettore Colla, Nino Franchina and Pietro Consagra.
Another group of works, made by artists belonging to the current of "informal naturalism", are those acquired through the Premio Spoleto (1953-1968). An additional section of the collection is represented by donations from artists and collectors and purchases from the Municipality. Among these, the core of works dedicated to the Spoleto sculptor Leonardo Leoncillo stands out. On the first floor, in addition to the Appartamento Nobile, are the rooms dedicated to temporary exhibitions.
The Appartamento Nobile is testimony to what was one of the most important noble buildings of the city, built between 1717 and 1730 by the Roman architect Sebastiano Cipriani and residence of the noble Collicola family. Once the family was extinct, the building was bought by the Municipality of Spoleto in 1932.
The palace hosted famous people like Carlo di Borbone (1734), Pope Pius VI (1782) and Carlo Emanuele IV, king of Sardinia (1801). The sober façade is horizontally divided into three orders of windows that correspond to the interior floors. The rear elevation has undergone serious alterations; only some trees survive from the original Italian garden.
