Building and garden
On behalf of Pope Pius XI. Luca Beltrami built a new building for the Vatican Pinacoteca in the Vatican Gardens in 1932 in the Lombard Renaissance style with 16 halls. On the south side of the building is the Giardino Quadrato , a rectangular park with an ornamental fountain. The new Pinakothek building served as the permanent home for the papal collection of paintings. Using the new premises, Pope Pius XI doubled. her portfolio of paintings.
Before that, Pope Pius X had already expanded the collection of the Pinakothek to 227 works and in 1909 housed it in the ground floor rooms of the western Belvedere gallery.
