The prestigious Alberto Della Ragione collection includes works by Giorgio De Chirico, Filippo De Pisis, Gino Severini, Giorgio Morandi, Renato Guttuso, Felice Casorati, Arturo Martini and other artists. The Ottone Rosai Bequest comprises a collection of works donated by the artist’s wife Francesca Fei and brother Oreste to the City of Florence in 1963. In addition to the permanent collection, the museum offers a rich program of temporary exhibitions devoted to masters of twentieth-century art juxtaposed with works by the most interesting artists on the contemporary scene.
