About the museum
The Museum of Religious Art in Oleggio, named after Father Augusto Mozzetti, holds works dating from the 14th to the 19th century, displayed in rooms linked to the town’s ancient confraternities. It mainly preserves vestments, liturgical objects and sacred furnishings from the local churches and confraternities.
Among the objects mentioned are the statue of the Madonna of the Rosary, dressed in silk garments embroidered with multicoloured threads; a 16th-century votive panel; and personal items and a black velvet chasuble linked to Mons. Enrico Stanislao Verjus, born in Oleggio in 1860 and who died here in 1892, the first Catholic bishop of Papua New Guinea.
The museum is located in the area of the parish church of Saints Peter and Paul, in Piazza don Bertotti, and opens on set dates or by reservation.
