Museo del Novecento
A museum of 20th-century Italian art beside the Piazza del Duomo, rich in Futurist works, with a top-floor view of the cathedral.
The museum is housed in the Palazzo dell'Arengario on the south side of the Piazza del Duomo and focuses on Italian art of the 20th century. Its Futurist galleries feature representative works by Boccioni, Balla and others, and there are also pieces by Modigliani, de Chirico and Fontana. A spiral ramp leads to the galleries. On the top floor, a large window in front of Fontana's neon installation looks directly out at the cathedral and the square, a spot many visitors come specifically to photograph. Tickets cost about €5–10. Check the official website for Monday morning or all-day closures. Some Sundays and Tuesday afternoons each month offer free admission.
