Intro

Home to the museum is the south wing of Castelgrande, the ducal fortress (15th century) restored by architect Aurelio Galfetti between 1980 and 1991.

The museum is housed in the south wing of Castelgrande, the ducal fortress (15th century) restored by architect Aurelio Galfetti between 1980 and 1991. A historical-archaeological section includes a concise presentation of the 6500 years of human presence on the hill, from the earliest Neolithic village to the 20th century. A historical-artistic section offers a nucleus of tempera drawings on paper (ca. 1470), which originally graced the wooden ceiling of a 15th-century mansion in the town center, demolished in 1970. Not to be missed is the collection of 16th-century coins.
