Modern Contemporary Art

Perugia was home to a well-known Futurist group led by Gerardo Dottori, the major exponent of "aeropainting", who was constantly inspired by his native land. Palazzo della Penna houses a number of his famous works, such as the "Trittico della Velocità", as well as a permanent exhibition of works by Joseph Beuys. Trevi's Flash Art Museum, established in 1992 in the prestigious Palazzo Lucarini, proposes temporary shows often on an international scale.

Terni has two venues of interest: the contemporary art section of the Pinacoteca Comunale 'Orneore Metelli' in Palazzo Gazzoli, with works by naif artist Metelli and other local artists, but also by Severini, Chagall, Mirò, Picasso, and Kandinsky. Amazing the industrial archaeology area, an extensive series of abandoned factories and plants that is currently undergoing a recovery project (the Papigno factory, for example, has been converted into a film studio).

Città di Castello celebrates its most illustrious artist, Alberto Burri, with the extensive exhibits of the Burri Collection, divided between the 15th century Palazzo Albizzini and the spaces of the Ex Seccatoi del Tabacco Tropicale. The Galleria Arte Civica Moderna e Contemporanea of Spoleto, housed in Palazzo Collicola, exhibits works by the sculptor Leoncillo, and by Mario Ceroli, Pino Pascali, and Sol Le Witt.
