The Art Gallery was founded in 1970 following the donation by Dolceacqua painter Giovanni Morscio of a selection of his pictorial production preserved in the Dolceacqua studio and of a significant part of his personal collection of paintings and watercolors executed by French and Italian figurative painters contemporary with him. During his long activity he frequented countless artists, often known in the salons where he exhibited (the most famous was the Salon des Indépendants in Paris), with whom he maintained the fruitful habit of exchanging works. The collection was then expanded by the Municipality starting from the 900s, with works by interesting local authors such as Marcello Cammi and 'Barbadirame' (Mario Raimondo) and continues today in this task aimed at expanding and enriching its scope.
Already exhibited in the headquarters of the former municipality, the civic administration decided, with the contribution of the Province of Imperia, to rearrange it in the new restored spaces of Palazzo Doria Garoscio, where most of the municipal cultural services are located.
