Art Collection of the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Perugia

The Art Collection of the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Perugia is a private collection of artworks, mainly from the region, and acquired by the financial institution. The collection is divided into two prestigious locations in the historic city of Perugia, the "Palazzo Graziani" and the "Palazzo Baldeschi". The "Palazzo Graziani" (1554-1569) was designed by Jacopo Barozzi, (il Vignola). The building is also notable for its sumptous main salon, the "Sala della Presidenza", which was decorated at the end of the 19th century with large canvases and frescoes painted by Annibale Brugnoli recalling both events of the Risorgimento and the history of Perugia. The "Palazzo Baldeschi al Corso" (16th century, named after the noble family descended from Baldus de Ubaldis) was obtained by the foundation on November 28 2002.
