On Saturday April 27, 2013 (10,30 am) at the historic Palazzo Gasparini (a XVII Century palace) in Mercatello sul Metauro – a picturesque and fascinating medieval town in Marche region (PesaroUrbino, Italy ) – the new Permanent Collection of Contemporary Art will open as a  completion of the St. Francis Museum of Ancient Art which will shortly be reopened to the public after the restorations.

The collection includes 158 works including 32 sculptures and 126 paintings by established national and international artists (the collection includes a Roberto Alborghetti’work). The initiative was made possible thanks to enthusiasm, passion and tenacity of artist and sculptor Pasquale Martini who has involved in the ambitious and prestigious project, the mayor of Mercatello Metauro,  Giovanni Pistola, with the Municipal Administration, the local tourism association (Pro Loco) and the whole community. The works hosted in the Collection  have been generously donated by the selected artists. The official catalogue has been entirely realized with the contribution of Banca dell’Adriatico, a strong advocate of cultural promotion in the Marche region.

Bonita Cleri and Silvia Cupini – Art Historians at Urbino University – curated the critical texts about the artworks. The new Permanent Collection of Contemporary Art – Prof. Cuppini writes in the presentation of the catalogue – is  an important initiative that aims to extend Mercatello’s role as a place of art and contemporary feeling.
