Museo e biblioteca di Santa Maria Valleverde

About the museum

The museum and the library occupy the upper floor of the convent attached to the church of Santa Maria Valleverde in Celano. The library holds the collection of Pietro Antonio Corsignani, with more than a thousand titles among ancient and rare volumes.

The museum collects works of art and sacred objects from the convent of Celano and from Franciscan convents in Abruzzo that have since closed. Among the pieces on display are a sculpture by Carlo Canestrari, a 16th-century wooden Madonna, a 15th-century Madonna attributed to Andrea De Litio, ancient embroideries with noble coats of arms, the original bell of the convent's foundation, and works donated by private collectors, including pieces by the ceramist Giulio Ricci.
