Museum of Montepulciano

The museum was a donation by the patriarch Francesco Crociani(1859). The Crociani collection is not only interesting for its individual pieces, but also the collection as a whole is an interesting example of the taste in antiquities which was common among the aristocracy of the 18^th and 19^th Centuries. Many of these notable private collections in many large museums.

The older works include a San Francesco by Margarito d'Arezzo, a Virgin with Angels of the Duccesca school, a large Coronation on the Virgin by Jacopo di Mino del Pellicciaio, a standard with a Crucifixion by Luca Tommè. The first and second-floor rooms also contain some lovely Etruscan cinerary urns. These objets were found in the area around Montepulciano.
