Bologna, Palazzo Pepoli Vecchio to host new international museum dedicated to Giorgio Morandi

An agreement was approved in early March by the Carisbo Foundation ’s Board of Directors and the Bologna City Council that sanctions the transfer of management to the city of Palazzo Pepoli Vecchio, on Via Castiglione, where the Genus Bononiae Circuit City Museum now resides. Palazzo Pepoli Vecchio will house the new international museum dedicated to Giorgio Morandi.

Morandi’s works, currently housed at MAMbo, will thus be housed at Palazzo Pepoli, which will see an overall overhaul of the more than 3,500 square meters available. An operation led by the City’s Civic Museums, accompanied by the Bologna Welcome Foundation, which will provide a stable and lasting home for Giorgio Morandi.

“Palazzo Pepoli will be delivered to us empty by May and the new museum will be built within this term,” said Bologna Mayor Matteo Lepore. “It is a great opportunity to revitalize the whole area of the Quadrilateral of Culture around Piazza Maggiore, the university area and the Two Towers. Alongside the new Museum at Palazzo Pepoli, it is also our intention to propose an itinerary of exhibition spaces dedicated to Morandi: the Master’s Houses in Via Fondazza and in Grizzana and a space at the Municipal Art Collections with a sign of Giorgio Morandi as a gateway to the itinerary in the city and to our Quadrilateral of Culture.”
