Museo Civico

The Civic Museum is housed in several rooms of the ground floor of the former Convent of San Francesco. There are two sections that characterize it: that of “Sacred art”, represented by the frescoes in the cloister and the former refectory, as well as paintings, altarpieces and sculptures derived in part from the adjacent church of SS. Crucifix (demolished in 1965) and partly from other churches in the country; and that of the “Library Thomistic” of St. Alexis, where, in some message boards, are exposed incunabula and rare volumes from, precisely, the Library Thomistic Aleksyi founded by Giovan Battista Corradi in the seventeenth century. There are several topics covered: medicine, astronomy, law, literature, religion, philosophy, rhetoric, archeology, teaching. Do not miss the Refectory, decorated environment several times over a period of time ranging from ‘400 to’ 700 and polychrome wooden sculpture depicting St. Alexis Roman school of the seventeenth century.
