The Civic Museum of Pesaro is a treasure chest of prestigious artworks.

The first hall is monumental due to the impressive presence of a large altarpiece, full of light and noble colour. It is the Coronation of the Virgin Mary between Saint Paul, Saint Peter, Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Jerome or the Pesaro Altarpiece. The 262 × 240 cm altarpiece was created around 1472-1475 by the painter Giovanni Bellini, born and died in Venice.

In 1444, after Oddantonio's assassination, Federico da Montefeltro became Duke of Urbino.

Federico da Montefeltro transformed Urbino into one of the essential centres of the Renaissance. Federico was its patron prince.

Every Renaissance Lord needs a palace. Federico da Montefeltro wanted to build one of the most personal residences.

The Palazzo Ducale is inimitable, "the most beautiful to be found in all Italy".
