Among the precious liturgical furnishings
here on display, praiseworthy are a thurible and a
navicula, of engraved and embossed silver, dating
back to the early 16th century.

These precious liturgical
furnishings are ascribed to Antonio Fabbri (1450-1529), a
famous San Marino goldsmith, who was also official
engraver of the Holy See from 1476 to 1522 and Ambassador
of the Republic of San Marino to Pope Leo X. He
established friendly relations with Benvenuto Cellini and
Raphael, who mentioned him in his will as a token of his
high esteem.
Among the paintings collected, particularly
remarkable is the 25th century fresco attributed to
Antonio Alberti from Ferrara and reproducing the
Adoration of the Three Kings.
