Patrimonio culturale dell'Emilia-Romagna

Inaugurated in 1986, the museum holds valuable works of art, papal bulls, and sacred parchments and furnishings, some belonging to the municipal administration and others from the collegiate church of S. Cristoforo. Of particular note are three large altarpieces by Antonio Zanchi (1726), a painting of Saint Valery the Martyr by Giuseppe Rosi (1748), with an interesting view of Longiano, and an 18th century Via Crucis. Also from the 18th century is a beautiful series of benches with seatbacks decorated in tempera, commissioned by Longiano’s aristocratic families. Some glass cases display liturgical fittings, a tabernacle, chalices, ritual objects and a valuable 18th century cope in red and gilded silk.
