Museo di Saludecio e del beato Amato

About the museum

The museum belongs to the parish of Saludecio, a village in the hinterland of Rimini, and since 2001 has occupied the tower next to the church of San Biagio, built between 1794 and 1800, and the crypt of the same church. It collects about three hundred works linked to the history, culture and religious life of the village and the area, largely connected with devotion to Blessed Amato Ronconi, a Franciscan tertiary who lived around 1300 and is the patron of Saludecio.

In the vestibule are displayed some archaeological finds and stone elements from the Roman and medieval periods. The first room documents the life of the parish and of the confraternities between the 17th and 19th centuries, with works of art and liturgical furnishings; the second is dedicated to Blessed Amato, with paintings, copper engravings, prints and sacred objects. Among the works stand out 17th-century paintings by Guido Cagnacci, Centino and Ridolfi, a series of liturgical silverware by 18th-century Roman goldsmiths and embroidered vestments.

The route also includes the neoclassical crypt of the late 18th century, which is reached from the church.
