=== Art ===
Perugia has had a rich tradition of art and artists. The [[Early Renaissance]] painter Pietro Perugino created some of his masterpieces in the Perugia area. The High Renaissance master [[Raphael]] was also active in Perugia and painted his famous [[Oddi Altar (Raphael)|Oddi Altar]] there in 1502–04.

Today, the [[Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria]] in Perugia houses a number of masterpieces, including the ''[[Madonna with Child and six Angels (Duccio)|Madonna with Child and six Angels]]'', which represents the [[Renaissance]] [[Marian art in the Catholic Church|Marian art]] of [[Duccio]]. And the private [[Art collection of Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Perugia]] has two separate locations.

The [[Collegio del Cambio]] is an extremely well preserved representation of a Renaissance building and houses a magnificent Pietro Perugino fresco.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://travel.nytimes.com/travel/guides/europe/italy/tuscany-and-umbria/perugia/attraction-detail.html?vid=1154654613337 |title=Collegio del Cambio |newspaper=Travel.[[nytimes.com]] |access-date=20 April 2010 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120716045836/http://travel.nytimes.com/travel/guides/europe/italy/tuscany-and-umbria/perugia/attraction-detail.html?vid=1154654613337 |archive-date=16 July 2012 |publisher=[[The New York Times Company]]}}</ref> The newly re-opened Academy of Fine Arts has a small but impressive plaster casts gallery and Perugian paintings and drawings from the 16th century on.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://inperugia.com/tourist-attractions/academy-of-fine-arts-of-perugia/ |title=The Academy of Fine Arts of Perugia |work=Inperugia.com |date=20 January 2013 |access-date=20 January 2013 |archive-date=18 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131018065452/http://inperugia.com/tourist-attractions/academy-of-fine-arts-of-perugia/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
