Painting in Catanzaro: Where to See It and What You Can Buy

Painting in Catanzaro: start in the museums

The best way to find out what you want on your wall is to spend time in front of real paintings. In Catanzaro the collections to start from are MARCA — Museo delle Arti di Catanzaro, Complesso del San Giovanni. That is where to look for the names the city ties to its history, such as Mattia Preti. There a painting is seen at its own scale, with its surface and its light, and no photograph replaces that. For a wider view, the page on Calabria gathers the other cities of the region.

What we offer, stated precisely

The works on this page are not hand-painted: they are mixed-media artist prints, signed, in editions of 25 with a certificate. They are contemporary works and do not depict Catanzaro. The catalogue holds 65 of them, by 5 artists, in 40 × 30 cm and 60 × 40 cm, at 95–295 €. The painting price guide explains what drives the figure.

How to choose

• Start from the wall, not the work: the distance you will view it from decides the size. The guide to formats and sizes gives the usual proportions.
• Read the listing: technique, size and edition should be stated. If they are missing, ask.
• Think about the frame afterwards: works on paper arrive unframed; the framing guide helps with glass and mount.

If you prefer photography, Catanzaro also has a page on fine art photography; for the whole buying route, see how to buy art.
