The Diocesan Museum "Mons. Cesare Recanatini" in Ancona, which originated in 1834, is located in the old bishop's palace, adjacent to the Ancona Cathedral. This location has been its home since 1952, providing a historical setting for the museum's collections.
Collections at the Museum
The museum's collections include a valuable art gallery with works from the 14th to the 19th century, a collection of coins and medals from the Roman and medieval period, and the Cathedral's treasure. The latter consists of ancient silverware, textiles, and sacred furnishings, all of which contribute to the museum's rich historical narrative.
The Sarcophagus of Flavius Gorgonius
One of the museum's most significant artifacts is the sarcophagus of Flavius Gorgonius. This late Roman style marble sarcophagus, dating back to the end of the 4th century, is a remarkable piece of history that offers insights into the period's burial practices and artistic styles.
