At the end of the staircase on Via Sant’Ercolano, you will find a beautiful XVI Century building whose entrance is gained through a beautiful and massive wooden portal.
In the XVI Century, this palace built on the ruins of a Roman amphitheatre was the home of Arcipriests della Penna.
It was Ascanio della Penna, in the XVIII Century, who started the art collection of the palace, which was moved to a different location at the end of the XIX Century.
Today the museum features a large collection of works by the German Artist Joseph Beuys and the famous Perugian futurist painter Gerardo Dottori, also known for co-authoring the “Futurist Aeropainting Manifesto” in 1929.
