Complesso monumentale della Pilotta - Galleria nazionale di Parma
Parma
The collections of the National Gallery of Parma
originate from the Ducal Academy of Fine Arts, established in 1752 by
the Duke of Bourbon, Don Philip (1749-1765) in the Palace of Pilotta.
The newly formed Academy, with its "paintings" and finds from
excavations in Veleia, along with students' academic essays and
paintings by winners of annual painting competitions formed the original
basis of the ancient gallery. The creation of a true public museum
institution, which occurred in the early parts of the nineteenth century
by Marie Louise of Austria, Duchess of Parma and Piacenza from 1816 to
1847, coincided with a further extension and the final arrangement of
the ducal collections, which are located in the historic rooms of the
Academy. The visit to the Gallery occurs two distinct routes, which run
from the Farnese Theatre, and include works by Benedetto Antelami,
Agnolo Gaddi, Beato Angelico, Cima da Conegliano, Francesco Francia,
Leonardo, Correggio, Parmigianino, Dosso Dossi, Holbein, El Greek,
Annibale, Ludovico and Agostino Carracci, Schedoni, Guercino, Nuvolone,
GMCrespi, Tiepolo, Piazzetta, Pittoni, Canaletto, Bellotto and
Sebastiano Ricci. Gallery itinerary
