St. Francis Art Gallery Museum – Pinacoteca di San Francesco
The Museum of St. Francis is located in the historic center near the ancient gateway of St. Francis. The location alone is worth the cost of the ticket: a beautiful 15th-century cloister built by the Comacini masters. The museum has two sections: one of sacred art and a picture gallery. Paintings on canvas and on wood, furniture and furnishings that come from numerous Franciscan churches tell “by objects” about the presence of the religious in the Old Republic and the fundamental role they played in its history. Sculptural and pictorial works by 20th-century artist Emilio Ambron complete the collection.
