There are no words to describe these two places. Palazzo Albizzini for some truly unique "Sacchi", beyond the cracks and plastics. But above all, the Ex Seccatoi del Tabacco allow for a truly unique experience: a sort of journey into a true total work of art, which almost exudes Burri's presence. I have never perceived the black of these exhibition spaces in such a "warm" way: authentic naves to collect the author's great cycles, and to get lost in the beauty, among works in cellotex, canvases, enormous cracks, irons, etc. The reference to the "Madonna del Parto" is emotional. Like everything else. In the panorama of Italian artistic creation of the 20th century, I truly believe that Città di Castello offers us an authentic cathedral without equal. Absolutely not to be missed!

The trip to Città di Castello was organized specifically to visit the two locations that exhibit the works of Alberto Burri. It was certainly worth it as the two sites offer a complete path of the artist's evolution with examples of all his famous "periods" up to the wonderful Black and Gold series. Unmissable for enthusiasts.

With Burri we enter the history of art. No words are needed.
The welcome at Palazzo Albizzini was decidedly highly professional. From entry to exit, careful checks on the rooms but also on the visitors. And how much knowledge, study and preparation characterized those who followed us on our visit. The best youth to whom we wish the right personal fulfillment.

25 euros is too expensive if we consider that the ticket to the Uffizi costs 33 euros! Palazzo Albizzini badly set up and inadequate lighting. Wet and warm environments that make you pass the desire to linger in the rooms, no caption or explanation. Ex Tabacchi is a beautiful place but exposure too monotonous. A great ego of the Artist emerges, if you ask for this amount you have to work on it a little more, you would make visitors feel less foolish.

There are two spaces that comprise this museum: one is in a former tobacco-drying warehouse (an easy walk from the centre of town), the scale of which is beyond enormous. This is where his later work is exhibited, along with his graphics. The earlier work is in a Palazzo right on one of the town squares.
I had known Burri’s name but wasn’t familiar with the work. He was a medical doctor who spent 2 years during WW II in Texas as a POW, which is where he started to paint. When he came back to Italy he gave up medicine and became an artist full time.
I found the work to be strong, powerful, and elegant. Seeing it in that space (the warehouse) was revelatory. I think some of the black paintings would hold their own against Rothko, and his graphics are superb. If you are at all interested in 20th C Italian art, don’t miss this.

There are two fabulous Alberto Burri museums in Citta di Castello. His earlier works are displayed in the Palazzo Albizzini and his later works in Ex Seccatoi del Tabacco, and industrial complex originally used to dry tobacco.
The Burri collection warrants a day's visit.

Saw the ads at Perugia Airport, so decided to go to visit. The ex-Seccatoi is a stupendous space, kind of like the Tate Modern's Turbine Hall, only 5 times over. Great for showing Burri's work. Ashamed to say I'd not heard of him, but feeling much better informed now, especially after seeing his work in the context of his contemporaries and those he inspired and was inspired by.

Split in 2 parts between the 'Palazzo Albizzini' in Citta di Castello and the 'Essiccatoi del Tabacco' on the outskirt of this town, the Museum was set up by the great artist Alberto Burri before his untimely Death (1995). Even persons not very familiar with the esoterism of modern art will enjoy this fabulous display of different, esxciting works; 'Sacchi', 'Combustioni', Gretto' etc, superbly displayed and very well cared for by a passionate team of professionals. A very nice place to visit and enjoy in one of the less known, but still very beautiful, parts of Italy

We had big expectations of both the spaces (Foundation and Tobacco drying halls). Burri was a surprise and at the start we enjoyed the discovery of an artist we didn't know.
But after a while it get's too much of the same what doesn't do good for the artist. I can understand he is one of Italy's most important contemporary artists, but the accumulation of works with the same artistic idiom get's boring.
To say that the tobacco drying halls are impressive.

Si può prenotare l'ingresso alla mostra. Vengo con due genitori anziani (...un po' insofferenti alle cose)...
Leggo delle difficoltà di parcheggio. Proponete indicazioni?
Grazie
