MUSEUM of GOLDEN BRONZES
and the CITY of PERGOLA
The museum is housed in the fourteenth-century ex-convent of San Giacomo and collects works of significant historical and artistic interest from the territory of the Municipality. The four sections that make up the museum complex are organized around the cloister in a sort of circular path. Inaugurated on 9 October 1999, the museum houses the Gilded Bronzes, the only group of gilded bronze that has come from Roman times to the present day. The archaeological section is completed with polychrome mosaics and grave goods from the Roman age found in the area.
The numismatic section includes 238 coins, from the collection donated to the Municipality of Pergola by Don Giovanni Carboni in 1971. The collection refers to a particular period of Italian history, the one preceding and contemporary to the first Napoleonic campaigns.
The historical-artistic section collects a series of works: paintings, sculptures and wooden furniture, prints and drawings dating back to between the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries, a significant testimony of the artistic heritage of the city. The contemporary art section presents a series of graphic works by the Pergolese artist Walter Valentini, a leading exponent of Italian and European lyric abstractionism.
