Icons and works from the middle ages to the 19th century

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.
