The gallery is housed in the fourteenth-century Palazzetto del Podestà;which makes Montelupone town square so unique with its arcades and imposing tower.The objects that form the collection come;as elsewhere;from churches throughout the area;especially from the convent of San Francesco;and came into the town’s possession following the suppression of religious orders.There are archaeological finds;furniture;sculptures;liturgical objects;besides paintings dating mainly from the seventeenth century.Of great value is the canvas of the Immaculate Conception;by Flemish painter Ernst Van Schayck;dated 1631.There are also a significant number of works from private collections or produced by artists from Montelupone.The museum itinerary is completed by visits to the perfectly preserved 1300-1400s town centre;to the San Francesco and collegiate churches;where there are two rare altarpieces by the sixteenth-century painter Antonio da Faenza;and to the Museo di Arti e Mestieri Antichi.
