The State Museum owns a small
but significant collection of Byzantine icons, most of which
from the Adriatic coast: Madonna with Child, scenes
from the Passion of Christ, Holy Conversations.
These works were donated or purchased, even recently, on the
antiques market. However, two of them come from the Monastery
of Saint Chiara and from the Church of Saint Antimo in Borgo
Maggiore.
On the walls are also some
sacred paintings of the 18th and 19th centuries from Latin
America, donated by the priest Raimondo Valli (1901).
Among
the objects in the cases, worth mentioning are a ciborium and
a Limoges shrine of the 13th century, together with a series
of Italian ceramics of various manufactures.
