The Francesco Podesti Civic Art Gallery is located in the historic center of Ancona. The current location of the Art Gallery is Palazzo Bosdari, dating back to 1973. Inside, important paintings by the Ancona native Francesco Podesti, Carlo da Camerino, Arcangelo di Cola, and Andrea Lilli are kept, as well as various precious works from Venetian origins, a region to which Ancona was closely linked through constant commercial relations. Noteworthy are “The Madonna with Child” by Crivelli, “The Holy Conversation” by Lorenzo Lotto, “The Immaculate Conception” and “Saint Palazia” by Guercino, and the Gozzi Altarpiece by Titian Vecellio depicting “The Apparition of the Virgin.” A section hosts modern art with works by Bartolini, Bucci, Cagli, Campigli, Cassinari, Cucchi, Levi, Trubbiani, and other important contemporary artists. The original core of the works that make up the Civic Art Gallery dates back to the years between 1880 and 1888 thanks to the donation by Podesti of a large collection of his cartoons and sketches. These are supplemented by works from churches, municipal funds, deposits, and private donations.
