History



The art gallery was established in the early 1780s by Giacomo Carrara, a Bergamasco collector or conoscitore of the arts; by 1785 it was open to some visitors. An academy of fine arts was added to it in 1793 or 1794,: 293  initially under the direction of the Milanese painter Carlo Dionigi Sadis.
Carrara made his will in 1795, leaving his entire estate to the gallery and art school he had founded; these were to be managed by a five-member commission, of which the first five were chosen by him. He died the next year.
The building was partly built by Carrara between 1775 and 1781 to designs by Costantino Gallizioli; it incorporated parts of earlier structures. It was modified between 1808 and 1813 to designs in Neo-Classical style by Simone Elia, who had been a pupil of Leopoldo Pollack at the Accademia di Brera.
In 1958 the Comune di Bergamo took over the management of the gallery and school,: 293  which in 1988 was recognised by the Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca, the Italian ministry of education, and came under the administration of that ministry.: 293
