The Museum of Palazzo Baldeschi, located in Corso Vannucci in the historic center of Perugia, is an ancient noble residence owned by the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Perugia, whose origins date back to the late 14th century. It is characterized by a magnificent frescoed main floor that is usually reserved for important temporary exhibitions organized by the Fondazione CariPerugia Arte, which manages the palace and its activities.

The other four floors host prestigious art collections that the Foundation has wanted to share with the city of Perugia and its visitors, creating a multidisciplinary space and a center of attraction where art, in its various forms, is the absolute protagonist. In the rooms on the third and fourth floors of the Palace, recently subjected to careful restoration, the historic collection of artworks of the Foundation is housed, ranging from the 15th to the 19th century and consisting of over 200 pieces including paintings, sculptures, and drawings by prestigious artists, among which stand out masters such as Perugino, Pinturicchio, Signorelli, Matteo da Gualdo, and Niccolò di Liberatore, known as l’Alunno. A monographic section is dedicated to Gian Domenico Cerrini, a painter bridging classicism and baroque, while for contemporary art, among others, Gerardo Dottori is present, one of the leading interpreters of Futurism and a master of aeropainting.

The precious and undoubtedly original Alessandro Marabottini Collection is composed of over seven hundred works, ranging from the 16th to the 20th century, and is exhibited with the works collected over a lifetime and donated to the Foundation by the Florentine collector, a long-time art history professor at the University of Perugia. The peculiarity of the exhibition path lies in the fact that starting from the large entrance hall on the second floor of the palace, the visitor is welcomed by the reconstruction of the noble residence inhabited by the Marabottini family in Florence, whose rooms have been faithfully reproduced. Finally, the Museum exhibits the Collection of Renaissance Maiolica of the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Perugia. Comprising about 150 pieces, it is a unique collection in the world for the quality and rarity of the works it contains.
