Sansepolcro - Municipal Art Gallery

(Local Name: Pinacoteca Comunale) Opposite the cathedral, also in Via Matteotti, is the old Palazzo Comunale, which now houses the Pinacoteca Comunale (Municipal Art Gallery), with some notable works of art. Of particular importance are the works by Piero della Francesca (c. 1416-92), one of the leading painters and theorists of the Italian Early Renaissance; note particularly his "Resurrection" and the Altar of the Madonna della Misericordia. The collection also includes paintings of the 14th-16th centuries, including works by Luca Signorelli and Santi di Tito (a native of Sansepolcro), and terracottas from the workshop of the della Robbias. The Pinacoteca also contains a library.
