Citta di Castello

The upper Tiber River shapes the setting of Città di Castello — its broad valley has long placed this northern Umbrian town between Tuscany and the Apennines. Within the historic centre, the Civic Art Gallery occupies Palazzo Vitelli alla Cannoniera, a Renaissance residence distinguished by its painted façade. Città di Castello is also closely associated with Alberto Burri, the twentieth-century artist born here; the Fondazione Palazzo Albizzini Collezione Burri preserves a major body of his work in the town. Renaissance palaces and churches give the centre a formal urban character uncommon in smaller Umbrian communities.
