The art gallery is housed in the Pianetti Palace, a significant example of an 18th-century aristocratic residence designed by Domenico Luigi Valeri and partly inspired by Austro-Bavarian models. On the main floor, it features a rococo gallery with colored stuccoes and rooms decorated by Placido Lazzarini with Stories of Aeneas. The ancient art collection, which includes works from religious congregations suppressed in 1867, highlights paintings by Lorenzo Lotto for the churches and confraternities of Jesi, from the youthful Deposition (1512) to mature works such as the Madonna with Child and Saints Joseph and Jerome (1526) and the monumental altarpiece with the Stories of St. Lucy (1532). Important works also include those by Nicola di Maestro Antonio from Ancona (Dead Christ in the sarcophagus supported by two angels), Giuliano Presutti, Pietro Paolo Agabiti (Madonna with Child on the throne and Saints John the Baptist and Anthony of Padua), Raffaellino del Colle (Madonna of Loreto among Saints Philip and James), and the canvas by Cristoforo Roncalli known as Pomarancio, the Holy Family with St. John the Baptist. The contemporary art section was established in 1938 and includes drawings, prints, and paintings by Orfeo Tamburi, Ennio Morlotti, Virgilio Guidi, and others
