The collections of the Contemporary Art Gallery have a rich history, originating from initiatives promoted by the founder, Don Giovanni Rossi, in the 1940s. The aim of these initiatives was to document the different iconographic representations of Christ in contemporary art. This focus on Christian iconography gives the gallery a unique collection of contemporary art.
The museum exhibits a wide range of art forms in its four rooms, including paintings, sculptures, prints, and various documents. One of the highlights of the gallery is its collection of over 1500 old prints, created by major engravers of the 16th to 19th centuries. These prints are organized by subject, focusing on moments from the life of Christ.

The Galleria d'Arte Contemporanea della Pro Civitate Christiana in Assisi, Italy, offers visitors an intriguing look into modern religious art. Located in the historic town of Assisi, this gallery provides a contrast to the medieval and Renaissance art typically associated with the area. The collection features works by 20th-century Italian artists, focusing on religious and spiritual themes.
Visitors appreciate the gallery's intimate setting, which allows for a contemplative experience with the artworks.
