Restorations

The Museo Diocesano’s permanent collection comprises almost a thousand works, ranging from the 3rd century to the present day. Alongside promoting the works on display, an integral part of the Museum’s activity is the conservation of the collection, through careful monitoring of the works and the planning of the restoration work required.

Thanks to contributions from individuals and companies, the Museum has been able to support the maintenance and restoration of some of the most important works in the permanent collection.
