The Gallery, established in 1964<\/strong> as a collection of graphic art, has become enriched in time with different works of painting and sculpture. Of fundamental importance was the acquisition of the Celi-Hellstrom Collection<\/strong> (paintings and drawings by Osvaldo Licini<\/strong> and other artists of the XX century<\/strong>) making it one of the major galleries of Contemporary At in the Marche Region.<\/em><\/p>\n

Among the most important artists represented in the Gallery are, besides Licini, Giuseppe Capogrossi<\/strong>, Emilio Vedova<\/strong>, Gino Severini<\/strong> and Lucio Fontana. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
