The Pinacoteca Comunale Casa Rusca is a typical 18th-century mansion with an inner courtyard enclosed by three levels of porticoes. In the mid-1980s, the building was transformed into the Pinacoteca della Città di Locarno (City of Locarno Art Gallery) following careful restoration. Since then Casa Rusca has hosted important international exhibitions in addition to the city's collections. The art collections of the City of Locarno are composed of the important Jean and Marguerite Arp Donation (paintings and sculptures by Jean Arp and contemporary artists and friends), the Nesto Jacometti Donation (paintings and graphic works by some 150 artists who collaborated on the "Oeuvre gravée." from the Giovanni Bianconi donation (1891-1981) (all the Ticino artist's silographic work), from an important collection of Filippo Franzoni (1857-1911), from the Rudolf Mumprecht donation (graphics), and finally from the donations of Emilio Maria Beretta and Rosalda Bernocco Gilardi.
