Gallery of Modern Art
The GAM opened to the public on 16 December 1928 to house the Municipality of Genoa’s modern art collections, previously dispersed between Palazzo Bianco and Palazzo Rosso. After a long enforced closure, it reopened on 12 November 2004, the year Genoa was European Capital of Culture.
The original core of the collection came from a 1866 bequest by Prince Odone of Savoy and was later enriched by further bequests, including those of the Duchess of Galliera and Senator Ricci. Many works were acquired at the Venice Biennales and Rome Quadriennales. The collection includes paintings by Barabino, Rayper, Mariani, Nomellini, Guttuso and Pirandello, as well as sculptures by Monteverde, Prini, Varni, Raphael Mafai, Messina and Martini.
