PART - Palazzi dell'Arte Rimini (Palaces of Art Rimini), Rimini

The rehabilitation Community of San Patrignano, founded in 1978, is located near Rimini, not far from the world's smallest and oldest republic San Marino. The founders of the Community believe that drug prevention and rehabilitation connect with art. The foundation is supported entirely by donations. The San Patrignano Foundation Collection of works donated by successful contemporary artists is part of the solution.

The collection consists of contemporary Italian and international artworks exhibited in the Palaces of Art Rimini ("PART"). The exhibits are housed in the restored 13th-century dell'Arengo Palace and the 14th-century Podesta Palace on Cavour Square.

The project is not only a museum of contemporary art but also connects culture, society, territory, and people through art. The museum features the works of more than fifty contemporary artists and works from the San Patrignano Community.

The place of honor goes to the 14th-century fresco "the Last Judgement." It is a product of the Rimini School of Giovanni da Rimini, shown in the Arengo Hall of the Municipality. The PART, Palaces of Art Rimini, was officially opened on 24 September 2020.

Behind the two medieval palaces is the Sculpture Garden, set up on a project by Luca Cipelletti. The garden operates both as a museum space and an Italian garden where visitors can stop and relax. As for the entire museum, the works are donated by artists, collectors, gallery owners, or benefactors with the obligation to have them on the show for five years.
