Description
The Sale d'arte (Art rooms) present an exhibition of works which share the connection with the city of Alessandria, its territory, the characters, and the historical and cultural moments which have enlivened it.
There are four sections to the exhibition. The first is entitled "Le Stanze di Artù e l'immagine del Medioevo alessandrino": on show are the interesting 14th century frescoes, inspired by the famous Breton cycle and coming from Cascina Torre of Frugarolo. The exhibition route, which takes from the entrance to the frescoes, allows for the reconstruction of the image of medieval Alessandria through a series of panels that highlight the architectural traces and painters and the city's past close to its foundation.
One section is dedicated to the artist Giovanni Migliara (1785-1837). The route illustrates the themes tackled by the painter during his career, also offering the opportunity to capture the typical quality of the nineteenth-century painting of ‘vedute’ and landscape.
