Art cities
Città di Castello
Located in the Upper Tiber Valley, it is the city of the artist Alberto Burri
Città di Castello is the “capital” of contemporary art in Umbria
The geographical position is eccentric if compared to the other cities of Umbria. The Renaissance nature of its monuments makes it the most important artistic center of the Upper Tiber Valley and its landscapes, celebrated by Pliny the Younger, have always fascinated great artists such as Raphael.
Alberto Burri, one of the great Italian artists of the second half of the 20th century, was born and lived in this city. His works can be admired at the Museum of Palazzo Albizzini and at the Ex Seccatoi del Tabacco, both set up by the artist.
