The Capitular Diocesan Museum of Foligno is located in the city center. The Museum is located in the Palazzo delle Canonici in Piazza della Repubblica. The Palace is located near the Cathedral of Foligno and was originally used as the residence of the canons. Today's palace owes its appearance to a series of restorations carried out in the twentieth century. The Museum houses a collection consisting of paintings and sculptures from the Renaissance to the Neoclassical period. In particular, the most famous works are certainly the fifteenth-century statue of San Feliciano, two busts by Bernini and the copy of Raphael's Madonna di Foligno. An important nucleus is constituted by the donation of the Roscioli family, who served Pope Urban VIII in Rome. The exhibition offers numerous works of different origins, specifically of artifacts transported to the museum following seismic events. The last section of the museum is made up of precious ancient crosses, such as the reliquary of the True Cross in rock crystal and part of the silverware of the Cathedral. The Crypt of San Feliciano has recently been added to the tour itinerary, after the conservative restoration.
