La Galleria Nazionale

La Galleria Nazionale was established in Rome in 1883 to represent the national art of the newly unified state. The current building, the Palazzo delle Belle Arti (Palace of Fine Arts) at Via delle Belle Arti was designed by prominent Italian architect Cesare Bazzani. It was completed between 1911 and 1915.

The museum displays about 1100 paintings and sculptures of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, of which it has the largest collection in Italy. Among the Italian artists represented are Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Alberto Burri, Antonio Canova, Giorgio de Chirico, Lucio Fontana, Amedeo Modigliani, Giacomo Manzù, Vittorio Matteo Corcos and Giorgio Morandi.
