Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art (GAMC)

Palazzo delle Muse, Piazza Giuseppe Mazzini, 55049, Viareggio

Pieces of contemporary art.

The permanent collection of GAMC consists largely of private donations. The first nucleus was established in 1979, with the purchase by the Municipality of the Varraud Santini Collection, made up of 50 works by Lorenzo Viani from Viareggio. This is followed by the Lucarelli Donation with 45 works by the most important Italian authors of the 20^th century. The Donation of Vera and Giovanni Pieraccini, consisting of about 2000 works, completes the Collection and gives the definitive impulse for the establishment of the Gallery, inaugurated on April 5^th, 2008. It is possible to admire paintings, graphics, sculptures by Italian and foreign authors, from the late 19^th century to the present day, including Pisarro, Boldini, Signorini, Ensor, Soffici, Severini, Kirchner, Grosz, Carrà, Dix, Chagall, Léger, Guttuso, De Chirico, Casorati, De Pisis, Rosai, Archipenko , Arp, Corpora, Capogrossi, Vedova, Scanavino and many others. The Gallery also has a significant presence of local authors or who have had links of various nature with this land, including Moses Levy, Renato Santini, Mario Marcucci, Vinicio Berti, Alfredo catarsini, Galileo Chini, Enrico Baj, Corrado Cagli, Primo Conti, Emilio Greco, Mino Maccari.
