Sassari, National Picture Gallery of Sassari

Opened to the public in 2008, the National Art Gallery of Sassari was born from the need to make accessible the rich heritage of works of art received by the State thanks to donations from private individuals. In 1875, Giovanni Antonio Sanna, entrepreneur and politician, donated to the city a considerable collection of archaeological finds and paintings, kept first in the spaces of a building called the 'Municipal Pinacoteca', then in the Ducal Palace of the city. In the eighties of the twentieth century, the State acquired the former Canopoleno National Boarding School, which, thanks to its large seventeenth-century spaces, was transformed with a restoration and museum layout into the National Art Gallery of Sassari.
The rich and articulated collection includes works dating from the 13th to the 21st century and this extraordinary collection makes the Pinacoteca di Sassari the largest artistic exhibition in Sardinia.
The polychrome wooden crucifix dated to the end of the 20th century is the oldest work, but the Triptych of Books, from the end of the 13th century, the Madonna and Child by Bartolomeo Vivarini and The Magdalene by Andrea Vaccaro also testify to the richness of the collection.
Also notable is the exhibition of paintings by Sardinian artists from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries - Giovanni Marghinotti, Antonio Ballero, Filippo Figari, Giuseppe Biasi, Carmelo Floris, Pietro Antonio Manca, Mario Delitala, Stanis Dessy, Eugenio Tavolara - and the collection of graphic works by Giuseppe Biasi and Stanis Dessy.

Why it's important to visit it
The Pinacoteca collects more than four hundred works, mainly pictorial, that document the production of various Italian and European schools and artists from the Middle Ages to the present day. The collection also includes a significant exhibition of Sardinian artists of the early twentieth century and a rich graphics section.
