Istituted in 1996 and named after the Bolognese artist of the twentieth century Galileo Cattabriga (1901-1969), it collects numerous modern and contemporary art paintings alongside some ancient paintings, including the ‘San Giovanni Evangelista’ by Simone Cantarini, donated in 1877 to the Municipality of Bondeno by Marquis Gioacchino Napoleone Pepoli who stayed in the villa of Stellata from 1870 to 1877. Of the entire municipal artistic heritage, including over two hundred works, a core of about sixty pictorial, graphic, and plastic works is exhibited in the rooms. Among the artists are Tono Zancanaro, Remo Brindisi, Nanni Tedeschi, Guglielmo Sansoni (Tato), Carlo Rambaldi. On the ground floor, a room is used for temporary exhibitions of contemporary artists. In the spaces of the Pinacoteca, sculptures by Stefano Galletti, Gaetano Galvani, Giuseppe Busuoli, Luisa Bemporad, Gianni Guidi, and Riccardo Biavati are displayed.
