Peter Aufreiter says goodbye to the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche in Urbino. Marco Pierini takes over on an interim basis

As of yesterday, Peter Aufreiter is no longer the director of the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche in Urbino: in fact, the Austrian art historian’s term of office has come to an end, and he has decided not to run for renewal, for the reasons he also outlined in an interview with Finestre sull’Arte this summer. In his place comes, on an interim basis, Marco Pierini, current director of the National Gallery of Umbria in Perugia, who will thus find himself in charge of two important museums. For Aufreiter, however, the doors of the Technisches Museum in Vienna open, of which he will take over as director.

“Today we bid farewell to dotter Peter Aufreiter,” the museum commented in a Facebook post, “who brings to a close four years of success and satisfaction at the helm of the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche, and we thank him for giving new vitality to our wonderful Palazzo Ducale by opening it to an endless series of exhibitions, initiatives, events, projects and collaborations! Thank you director and have a good future!” Marco Pierini also entrusts Facebook with his comments, declaring himself “thrilled” to receive the important appointment directly from Aufreiter’s hands.
