Collezione de dipinti antichi dell Banca Popolare dell’Emilia Romagna

The Collezione de dipinti antichi dell Banca Popolare dell’Emilia Romagna is a collection of classic Italian art from the last seven centuries in Emilia-Romagna, that has been purchased by an Italian Bank.

Modern viccisitudes have concentrated the collection of Italian art to a few entities, most prominently banks and other commercial concerns. Those artworks in private hands in Italy cannot win export licences, hence find local homes with such patrons. The collection of the "Banco Populare dell’Emilia-Romagna" is not unique in its scope, like most banks it concentrates on local talent, this formidable collection samples artists from the last seven centuries from the region or whose paintings could be found locally. It is housed in Modena.

For a similar collection in a nearby region, see Galleria dei dipinti antichi della Cassa di Risparmio di Cesena or for other works of artists from Modena see the
Museo Civico d'Arte di Modena.
