Pinacoteca Civica

The Civic Pinacoteca was established in 1890 in some rooms of the Civic Library; the Pinacoteca of Fermo was set up in its current location in 1981. It houses, among other things, an important collection of paintings from the Marche and Venetian schools, along with stone artifacts, costumes, coats of arms, porcelain, furniture, and valuable objects.
Among the most significant works are those by Andrea da Bologna, Francescuccio di Cecco Ghissi, Jacobello del Fiore (Stories of Saint Lucia), Vittore Crivelli (Crucifixion), Vincenzo Pagani, Giuliano Presutti, and Giovanni Lanfranco (Pentecost).
Of particular interest is a Flemish tapestry made from a design by Giusto de Gand and the painting by Peter Paul Rubens depicting the Adoration of the Shepherds, commissioned from the painter in 1608 by the Fathers of the Oratory for their church. The Room of the Globe
Is included in the visit path of the pinacoteca, the precious Room of the Globe commissioned by the Fermano Cardinal Decio Azzolino j. and completed in 1688 by architect Adamo Sacripante, which preserves the oldest core of the library. The Room, completely furnished with walnut wood shelving, houses part of the ancient collection of the Municipal Library donated mainly by Fermano Romolo Spezioli, personal physician to Queen Christina of Sweden. Dominating the environment is the imposing globe, created by geographer Silvestro Amanzio Maroncelli in 1713.
