The National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art was founded in Rome in 1883, just over a decade after the creation of the Italian state.
Over the decades, the Gallery underwent several renovations until it acquired the essential services for a state-of-the-art museum.
The museum reopened after World War II and became the venue for numerous exhibitions on artists such as Picasso, Pollock, and Piero Manzoni.
A modern museum that hosts various activities and offers high-level curated exhibitions.
The National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art of Rome is a clear example of how culture can be best disseminated to the present day.
Today it holds around 20,000 works representing Italian artistic movements starting from the 19th century.
In particular, notable works include *Hercules and Lica* by Antonio Canova, depicting the illustrious hero in one of his moments of extreme madness.
*Watery Packs* by Jackson Pollock demonstrates the artist’s full immersion in his work through the intensive use of action painting.
Also noteworthy are Amedeo Modigliani and Francesco Hayez, representatives of the Venetian school, along with works by Joan Miró, Umberto Boccioni, and Giorgio De Chirico.
