Galleria d'Arte Moderna Ricci Oddi
Housed in a 1930s palazzo and displaying over 400 mainly Italian modern works amassed largely by collector Giuseppe Ricci Oddi (1868–1936), this gallery hit worldwide headlines for the mysterious and labyrinthine saga surrounding centerpiece painting Portrait of a Lady by Gustav Klimt (1862--1918). After viewing the vivacious expressionistic canvas and learning about the theft, forgery and reappearance of the Austrian lady 23 years after her theft in 1997, you can join those who like to speculate over the curious, clandestine turn of events. Not be overshadowed, the luminous paintings and sculptures largely spans Romanticism through Expressionism, with works by De Nittis, Grosso, Pellizza da Volpedo, Larsson and Boccioni.
