Recommended changes[edit]

I recommend some tweaks:

The first sentence:

"The Pinacoteca Comunale of Città di Castello is the main museum of paintings and arts of Umbria Italian Region, alongside the Perugia's National gallery, and it's housed in a renaissance palace, generally preserved in its original form."

suffers from a confusing focus. It introduces the existence of another Gallery, and then after Perugia's national gallery, is says its housed in a renaissance palace: so is the Pinacoteca of Citta di Castello or Peurgia located in a renaissance palace?

On suggestion is: The Pinacoteca Pinacoteca di Palazzo Vitelli alla Cannoniera is the main paintings and art gallery of Città di Castello, a city in the region of Umbria, Italy; it is one of the main art collections in Umbria, and is displayed in a well-preserved Renaissance palace.

This avoids having to argue whether it is first or second or at a par with the Perugia gallery. Also I think, the "Umbria Italian Region" is clumsy, again because region applies to umbria, not Italy. We could say Umbrian region of Italy. Finally, the name of this town makes its somewhat difficult to handle: does one say the town of Città di Castello, or the semiredundant, city of Città di Castello or commune of Città di Castello of just Città di Castello. I elected a modification of the latter in my paragraph above.Rococo1700 (talk) 17:19, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
