THE VISIT
A suggestive staircase leads to the first floor, which hosts temporary exhibitions, and to the second, the real heart of the collection.
The fifteenth-century statue of St. Feliciano, recently recovered and inserted in a path that, through various works, crosses the construction phases of the Cathedral, from the Romanesque to the Renaissance, Baroque and finally Neoclassical.
Also part of this first nucleus of the museum are some works from the bequest of the Roscioli family, who served in Rome Urban VIII and bequeathed to the Cathedral a large collection of works of art, including two busts by Bernini.
The itinerary continues with the exhibition of works of different origins: most of them are artefacts transported from churches undergoing post-seismic reconstruction, such as the surprising Bottega di San Giuseppe, attributed to northern European environments of the 16th and 17th centuries and which has always been kept in Serrone.
The last part preserves some ancient asylum crosses, a wonderful 14th century stauroteca (reliquary of the True Cross) in rock crystal and part of the precious silverware of the Cathedral. The recently recovered Crypt of San Feliciano is part of the museum itinerary.
The Diocesan Museum is part of the Umbrian Ecclesiastical Museum Network.
