The Diocesan Museum of the Cathedral of Città di Castello is located in the historic center of the city. The Museum was founded in 1940 by the will of the diocesan bishop Filippo Maria Cipriani. The Museum was later expanded to house the largest number of works in the collection. The collection is made up of liturgical works and medieval and Renaissance paintings between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries. In particular, the first room houses the Canoscio treasure consisting of 25 pieces including vases and Eucharistic plates from the 5th century. Of great value are: the frontal in embossed and gilded silver, which was donated to the pope in 1100; and a pastoral in engraved and gilded silver attributed to Goro di Gregorio, a Sienese goldsmith of the fourteenth century. Among the preserved paintings are the "Madonna with Child and San Giovannino" by Pinturicchio, "Christ risen in glory" by Rosso Fiorentino and "Angels" by Giulio Romano. The Museum today hosts temporary exhibitions, educational activities, cultural events and concerts in the Gothic hall.
