The Carrara Academy is one of the most beautiful Italian museums, located in Lower Bergamo, in an area rich in history. It collects 1793 paintings from the Venetian, Lombard and Tuscan schools from the Renaissance to the end of the 1800s. The whole collection of paintings deserves several hours to visit, together with that of sculptures with works by Bernini and prints with works by Mantegna, Dürer, Piranesi and Canaletto.

The origin of the pinacoteca is due to Count Giacomo Carrara, patron and collected with a generous legacy to the city of Bergamo at the end of the eighteenth century. At the death of the Count, in 1796, all his possessions were handed over to a Commissaría in favor of the academy that ran them until 1958 when the management passed into the hands of the municipality of Bergamo. In 1810 a new neoclassical building was built, designed by architect Simone Elia, student of Leopoldo Pollack.

Search among the many masterpieces the painting of a Fiano Luperini: although at the end of his life, the master holds with one hand the tempo of the music played on the piano.
