Museo Civico Giovanni Fattori

The collection includes a number of works and biographical items associated with the native painter Giovanni Fattori, one of the leaders of the 19th-century group known as the Macchiaioli.

[1] The origins of the museum date to 1877, when the municipal administration decide to establish an art gallery to reunite paintings by contemporary Italian artists such as Giovanni Fattori, Enrico Pollastrini and Cesare Bartolena.

At the same time the collection was enriched with works by Italian artists such as Plinio Nomellini, Guglielmo Micheli, Serafino De Tivoli, Oscar Ghiglia, and Ulvi Liegi.

[4][5] In 1994 the museum, consisting partially of the collection, was moved to Villa Mimbelli, inaugurated in 1994 by the President of the Republic Oscar Luigi Scalfaro.

[6] In these two floors are shown works by Enrico Pollastrini, Guglielmo Micheli, Ulvi Liegi, Oscar Ghiglia, Giovanni Bartolena, Leonetto Campiello and Mario Puccini.
