By 1865, the structure had become a local gallery, but then over the years functioned as a nursing home, school, and civic library. [1]
The museum has one wing on the piano nobile displaying works from the 19th century, many by Diotti himself, and maintaining the rooms as they would have looked when he lived, taught, and painted there. The display includes works by Marcantonio Ghislina, Francesco Antonio Chiozzi, Paolo Araldi, Paolo Troubetzkoy, Tommaso Aroldi, Gaetano Previati, and Amedeo Bocchi. In the north side of the building are displayed works by mainly local artists of the 20th century, including Mario Beltrami, Gianfranco Manara, Tino Aroldi, and Goliardo Padova. [2]
