About the museum
The civic museum was founded in 1936 by Mgr. Raffaele Campelli and is housed in the town hall of Pievebovigliana, now part of the municipality of Valfornace. It tells the social and artistic history of the area from prehistoric times; the arrangement also includes archaeological sections and a picture gallery.
Among the works preserved are a Madonna of Loreto and saints by Simone De Magistris, two music-making angels from around 1530 attributed to Venanzo da Camerino, a partly damaged Crucifixion by Cola di Pietro, a 16th-century Madonna of Constantinople by an anonymous Umbrian painter, and late 15th-century sculptures such as a wooden Saint Sebastian from the church of Villanova. Some of the sculptures were shown in 2002 at the exhibition “Il Quattrocento a Camerino” (The Quattrocento in Camerino).
The building is currently unsafe to use following the 2016 earthquake.
