The Galleria Prencipe, located in the Monteverde Vecchio quarter of Rome, is home to the Archivio Umberto Prencipe and to the Archivio dell'Ottocento Romano.
The gallery comprises a room dedicated to temporary art exhibitions, courses, and conferences, and two spaces which house the library, the collection of paintings, drawings and engravings, and the considerable archive material - handwritten pieces, press cuttings and photographs - present in Umberto Prencipe’s studio at the time of his death, as well as the documentary material belonging to the Archivio dell'Ottocento Romano.
As well as works by Prencipe, the collection also houses pieces by his circle, including Antonio Mancini, Vincenzo Migliaro, Giuseppe Casciaro, Attilio Pratella, Vincenzo Caprile, Francesco Vitalini, Antonio Antony De Wytt, and Ilario Ciaurro.
The spaces are decorated with objects and furniture from the artist’s studio, amongst which are a series of pieces of furniture decorated by Prencipe together with Ilario Ciaurro.
At the moment the library dedicated to art of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, engraving, and the history of art of Rome, is undergoing a period of cataloguing and reorganisation. The library contains over two thousand editions, numerous periodicals, and is growing thanks to donations. The Prencipe collection has merged with that of the Archivio dell'Ottocento Romano and the library of Giuseppe Sacchi Lodispoto, a scholar of Rome. Further collections of books have been provided by the Tittoni family and by the library of the archeologist Giulio Quirino Giglioli. The catalogue will soon be available online. A service of photographic reproductions to be sent via email is available on request.

Galleria Prencipe is at via Ludovico di Monreale 42 - 44, Rome.

The gallery is open for events and by appointment.
