History
History
The collection includes archeologic works and lapidary inscriptions from the region. The art gallery originated with a donation to the commune in 1859 of the collection of Francesco Crociani. It was complemented since then by works from various sources including closed ecclesiastical institutions. Among the masterpieces in the collections is a 13th-century St Francis of Assisi by Margaritone d’Arezzo; a Madonna and Child with two Angels attributed to a 14th-century follower of Duccio da Buoninsegna called the “Master of Badia a Isola”; a Coronation of the Virgin by Jacopo di Mino del Pellicciaio; a Nativity by Benvenuto di Giovanni; a Crucifixion by Filippino Lippi; an Allegory of the Immaculate Conception with Saints by Giovanni Antonio Lappoli; a Holy Family with young St John the Baptist by il Sodoma; an Enthroned Madonna and Child derived from the church of Santa Lucia and painted by Luca Signorelli; a Sant’Agnese Segni with a Model of the City of Montepulciano attributed to Domenico Beccafumi; a Portrait of the Blessed Caterina De' Ricci attributed to Giovanni Battista Naldini; a Children playing with Cat attributed to Abraham Bloemart; and a Portrait of a Nobleman (presumed to be Scipione Caffarelli Borghese) and attributed to Caravaggio.
