Rome - National Gallery of Modern Art Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna

 
The National Gallery of Modern Art, founded in 1883, has the largest collection of works by Italian painters and sculptors of the 19th and 20th centuries. The 70 rooms of the massive building in which it is housed present a survey of Italian and foreign painting and sculpture since 1800, though some leading figures are missing and others are represented only by some minor works.

Must-see attractions nearby:
Notable among the non-Italian artists are Degas, Cézanne, Mondrian and Van Gogh ("The Gardener"). Other items of particular interest are pictures by the Macchiaioli, a group of open-air painters from Tuscany comparable in style with the Impressionists, sculpture by Marino Marini and Giacomo Manzù and paintings by Giogio de Chirico. The gallery courtyard, displaying Antoine Bourdell's "Bowman" amongst the ivy and roses, is an attractive setting.
