La
Pinacoteca Civica
di Jesi
A
jewel set in the heart of the city
The
Pinacoteca
Civica of Jesi
is
hosted in Pianetti Palace, a wonderful and important example of the rococò
style.
The Pinacoteca can boast a Gallery that is unique in Central Italy. The
Palace dates back to XVIII century.
It is a masterpiece itself. It is embellished by wonderful stuccoes and
frescoes. Along the Gallery (78m long) the stuccoes represent the four
seasons, the four life elements, the four continents known at the time
they were made and the Arts.
The rooms where the pieces of Art are on show are frescoed with Enea
story. This is the main floor of the Palace where several Le Marche
paintings are kept, Lorenzo
Lotto Collection
(1512-1535) for example.
A collection
of Modern and Contemporary Art is
instead on show at another floor of the palace. The collection counts
pieces of art dating back to the second half of the nineteenth century
onwards. They have been donated to the Pinacoteca.
The most conspicuous donation is the one made by
Orfeo Tamburi
a painter
from Jesi.
The
main reason visitors from all over Europe go to see the Pinacoteca is The
Lorenzo Lotto Collection.
On the 450°Anniversary of Lorenzo Lotto death an international meeting
was organized “Lorenzo
Lotto and Le Marche.
A geography of the soul”.
A ticket can be bought to visit several Pinacotecas in Le Marche where
other works by
Lorenzo Lotto
are on show (Ancona, Jesi, Loreto e
Recanati).
The
Manager of the Pinacoteca, Dott.ssa Loretta Mozzoni, is very pleased as
the Art gallery has a great number of visitors that even come from a
distance to admire the works of art on show there.
The Pinacoteca also organizes Artistic-Enologic tours based on the
visitors’ wishes.
The union of culture and oenology in fact is really attractive for people
interested in arts but that also appreciate delicious wine tasting.
These tours are made possible by the collaboration of the Regional
Wine-house
(Enoteca
Regionale)
.
Shows,
plays and music exhibitions will be organized in 2010 in occasion of the
anniversary of two artists from Jesi: Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710)
and Orfeo Tamburi (1910).
