Through six extraordinary masterpieces, this volume highlights the importance of the collection held by the Civic Art Gallery “Francesco Podesti” in Ancona—a testament to the remarkably high level of local patronage. Among works by Olivuccio di Ciccarello, Carlo Crivelli, Lorenzo Lotto, and Guercino, the monumental Gozzi Altarpiece by Titian undoubtedly stands out. These paintings, deeply tied to the history of Ancona, trace an artistic journey shaped by significant exchanges between artistic movements, which made the city a true custodian of masterpieces from the 15th to the 17th century.
