Galleria arte e arti della Camera di commercio di Mantova

About the museum

The gallery is housed in Palazzo Andreani, also known as the Palazzo della Camera di commercio, at Via Pietro Fortunato Calvi 28 in Mantua. The building was erected between 1911 and 1914 to a design by the architect Aldo Andreani and inaugurated on 1 October 1914 as the Palazzo della Borsa. It combines Liberty (Art Nouveau), neo-Gothic and Orientalist elements and reflects the ambitions of the Mantuan craft and industrial entrepreneurs of the time.

The interiors are decorated with murals by Arrigo Andreani, the architect's brother, with scenes such as the proclamation of Mantua's first consul and a popular festival for the launch of a large boat. Opposite the palace stands the Loggia dei Mercanti, linked to it by a scissor-shaped staircase (scalone a forbice).

The building, on three floors, is used as offices and as a museum space. The Galleria Arte e Arti holds ancient paintings of value and a collection of 20th-century paintings and sculptures.
