Quadreria dei Poveri Vergognosi

Where Via Marsala, 7/a, Bologna

The Company's public Shameful Poor Human Services, also known as ASP Shameful Poor, born in Bologna on January 1, 2008 by the transformation of the Poor Shameful Opera Pia, one of the oldest institutions in the city of Bologna. Thanks to the legacies of which has benefited over the centuries the Charity of the Poor Shameful, can boast a veritable collection of works of art that stands as a point of reference collections of the ancient city. On the occasion of the fifth centenary of the foundation of the Opera Pia, in 1995, we proceeded to the restoration and exhibition of the works. 

The collection is known as the Picture Gallery of the Poor Vergognos. 

With the paintings that the Authority has jealously guarded for centuries, has built a new exhibition, following the order of the old inventories of collections and leaving resurface in transparency, one of the collection consists of the directors of the Poor Vergognosi in past centuries to beautify his residence. 

The current exhibition is aimed at the recovery of the history of the paintings, as well as to that of art making of their author: by whom they were commissioned to do so, as they were re-used by the poor and Shameful as it changed their perception of time. This choice was dictated by the desire to give the visitor the opportunity to enjoy not only the beauty of the work but also the fantastic worlds where the pictures gave life in the ancient versions, because thanks to them you can come in contact with the culture of a era with the way you feel an individual or an entire social class.
