Insieme alla Basilica di San Pietro la chiesa di Santa Maria Maggiore è un bellissimo esempio dell'architettura romanica in Italia.È stata anche la prima cattedrale di Tuscania e l'unica;per antico privilegio;ad avere un fonte battesimale a immersione con vasca che ancora oggi è ben conservato.Le origini dell’edificio risalgono all'VIII secolo;ma la chiesa fu quasi interamente ricostruita tra la fine dell' XI e l'inizio del XII secolo per poi essere di nuovo completamente ristrutturata e assumere l’attuale forma a tre navate.L’edificio è affiancato da una massiccia torre campanaria che svolgeva la duplice funzione di richiamo per i fedeli e avvistamento e difesa;considerata la posizione strategica;alla confluenza di numerose e frequentate strade;per Tarquinia;Viterbo;verso Roma via Vetralla e la zona vulcente attraverso la via Clodia.La facciata della chiesa richiama quella di San Pietro con uno splendido rosone e una loggetta sottostante;ma non c’è il timpano a coronamento della parte centrale.I tre portali con le relative lunette sono molto più rifiniti della consorella più grande.Il tufo;pietra locale di origine vulcanica;è l’elemento costruttivo dominante.Il portale maggiore;quello centrale;è in marmo bianco.Presenta quattro colonnine per lato con capitelli corinzi sui quali poggiano le arcatelle che fanno da coronamento alla lunetta che presenta un altorilievo con Madonna con Bambino in trono;l’Agnello di Dio;il sacrificio di Isacco e la fuga in Egitto.Ai lati del portale di ingresso sono inoltre scolpite le immagini di San Pietro e di San Paolo.Sono finemente lavorati anche i portali di destra e di sinistra con motivi vegetali;figure simboliche;colonne e capitelli corinzi.L’interno;a tre navate;è caratterizzato da colonne e pilastri che conservano ancora una parte i affreschi e capitelli romanici scolpiti e decorati con soggetti mostruosi.A ciascuna navata corrisponde;sul fondo;un’abside;con quella centrale più ampia e conclusa con un superbo arco trionfale.Sopra l’arco è ancora visibile;sia pur sottoposto a numerosi restauri;un affresco del XIV secolo di Gregorio e Donato di Arezzo che rappresenta il Giudizio Universale.Di rilievo;nella navata di destra;il fonte battesimale ad immersione a forma ottagonale risalente al XIII secolo.;<strong>Concessioni in uso di spazi</strong> Il Polo Museale del Lazio;per usi compatibili con la tutela dell'integrità;dell'immagine e del decoro del Monumento;può concedere in uso spazi del compendio monumentale.Il richiedente può avanzare apposita istanza al Polo;secondo la modulistica predisposta;in tempo utile per consentire tutti provvedimenti del caso.Per maggiori informazioni sulla possibilità di utilizzare spazi degli immobili demaniali in consegna al Polo Museale del Lazio (<a href="http://www.polomusealelazio.beniculturali.it/index.php?it/208/come-chiedere-in-concessione-luso-degli-spazi">vedi Concessione in uso degli spazi</a>)

La chiesa di San Pietro di Tuscania è un gioiello dell’arte romanico-lombarda.Posta sulla sommità dell’omonimo colle;affiancata da due alte torri di avvistamento;mostra tutto il suo fascino quando la sua facciata e il suo bianco rosone appaiono al visitatore che si volge sul cortile;arricchito da sarcofagi etruschi.Il colle di San Pietro è stato la sede dell'antica città etrusca e non è escluso che l’attuale basilica fu fondata nell'VIII secolo sui resti di un tempio pagano (tutt'intorno sono evidenti le rovine dell’acropoli etrusco-romana) e subì varie trasformazioni architettoniche nel corso dei secoli.Nell'XI secolo furono rifatte le navate laterali;le absidi e la cripta e successivamente la navata centrale fu allungata di due arcate verso l’ingresso.Anche la facciata ha avuto diversi momenti realizzativi:le parti laterali vennero costruite nel XII secolo e agli inizi del secolo successivo fu realizzato il corpo verticale centrale;sporgente di circa un metro rispetto alle parti laterali.In quel periodo il colle divenne una rocca fortificata.Sorsero così intorno alla chiesa e all'adiacente palazzo episcopale alcuni torri di difesa;due delle quali fanno ancora parte dell'imponente spettacolo scenografico e una terza;mozzata;si trova di fronte alla facciata;fuori dal recinto.;<strong></strong><strong>Concessioni in uso di spazi</strong>Il Polo Museale del Lazio;per usi compatibili con la tutela dell'integrità;dell'immagine e del decoro del Monumento;può concedere in uso spazi del compendio monumentale.Il richiedente può avanzare apposita istanza al Polo;secondo la modulistica predisposta;in tempo utile per consentire tutti provvedimenti del caso.Per maggiori informazioni sulla possibilità di utilizzare spazi degli immobili demaniali in consegna al Polo Museale del Lazio (<a href="http://www.polomusealelazio.beniculturali.it/index.php?it/208/come-chiedere-in-concessione-luso-degli-spazi">vedi Concessione in uso di spazi</a>).
Established before 1440 as a hunting lodge of the Mozzoni family;it was subsequently embellished and completed between 1530 and 1560 with fresco wall paintings by the Campi brothers from Cremona and their disciples.The apartments are all frescoed and containing pieces of furniture household furnishings and paintings stemming from various ages;in the library there are 5000 books.At ground floor 4 rooms decorated during the XVIII Century with stucco-work.The garden was established by Ascanio Mozzoni;a man of great culture who brought back from his travels cues for the arrangement of his garden over seven levels.
The most pleasant characteristic of the Villa is its merging with the garden.One can admire the two-flight stairway with a brook running in-between which leads directly to the halls of the Villa and also enjoy from above the sight of the beautiful panorama.The walled-in garden is a typical example of formal Italian garden with box hedges;water basins;fountains and a grotto with remarkable waterworks.Climbing towards the belvedere a more naturalistic romantic park follows.
One of the most famous fresco cycle of the early Renaissance;painted by Masolino da Panicale:its scenes cover entirely the walls of the Baptistery annexed to the Collegiate Church of Castiglione Olona;that was also decorated by Masolino;assisted by Lorenzo di Pietro called il Vecchietta and by Paolo Schiavo.The religious complex was ordered by Cardinal Branda Castiglioni;who;at the beginning of the 15th century;made Castiglione Olona;following the famous definition of the Italian poet Gabriele D'Annunzio;"the Tuscan island in Lombardy".
Masolino's refined frescoes;with their balance of landscapes and architectures;religious history and 15th century fashion;blended through the painter's peculiar luminous atmosphere;witness the transition between International Gothic and Renaissance;thus offering an extremely suggestive account of one of the most relevant periods of Italian art history.
Guided tours and off-hour openings available.
Opened in 1983;the museum is housed in the rooms annexed to the watermill where the painter Innocente Salvini (1889-1979) was born and worked throughout his life.Some of the large canvases created in the 1920s are on permanent view.In the other three rooms works are exhibited on a rotating basis according to specific themes or temporary exhibitions of other artists are held.On the external walls of the building there are frescoes by Salvini (recently restored) and by the painters Rossi and Minoretti.The mill structure made up of two runners and two bedstones;restored in 1998 thanks to the European project Hidràulic;is in working order."Colour was music;imagination;drawing was form;an open question about mankind and the world.A question which becomes knowledge but pauses on the threshold of judgement.Salvini's figures (normally his relatives) are not rendered in their social context;they wait in the sunlight.They seem to contemplate the sky;absorbed in an elementary meditation.They are static and will not blunder when getting back in touch with mankind;if we were to indulge in rethoric;we could affirm that the figures drawn by the Christian artist Salvini were longing to discover the divine;beyond sun and space" (Raffaele De Grada;"Dall'istinto al pensiero:l'arte di Innocente Salvini";Grafica Varese Edizioni;2001).
"Gipsoteca Spazio Scultura Pellini Bozzolo" was opened in 1996;bringing together thirty works of by Eugenio Pellini (1864-1934);Eros Pellini (1909-1993) and Adriano Bozzolo (1927-2011).Marchirolo is part of a territory where the tradition of plasterers and "picapietra" was very important and this explains why a few kilometres away there are other two museums of plaster casts:one in Ligornetto (Switzerland);where there is the collection of Vincenzo Vela's works;and the other in Viggiù;where there are works by Enrico Butti.The implementation of our "Gipsoteca" is part of a larger and long-term project greatly wanted by the major Dino Busti to promote the territory and to preserve our past and memories and that started in the 80's with the creation of several mural paintings scattered across the town centre and the publication of two books by Virginia Borri about the town history.
The Civic Museum was founded on 1st April 1949;together with the "Cesare da Sesto's Artistic and Historical Society".In 1954;with its first archaeological exhibition the museum was officially established.Nowadays the museum is housed in the 19th century town hall building of Sesto Calende and exhibits;in a modern display;archaeological finds of the Golasecca Culture which flourished in North-Western Italy during the last millennium B.C.The objects on display were found in the areas of Golasecca;Sesto Calende and Castelletto sopra Ticino;they are exhibited chronologically and supplied with broad and explicative didactic-type notices;including several illustrations and pictures in order to make them easily and pleasantly understandable.The Golasecca Culture is represented by several funerary objects from different necropolis;suggesting both a high demographic concentration and a diversified;evolved society.The Golasecca Culture has been the commercial and cultural intermediary between the Etruscan world;central Italy and the Transalpine world.The few finds brought to light concerning the inhabited areas relate to common working activities (kilns;querns;weaving tools;etc.) and bear evidence of hut flooring and cobbled paving.Recently;finds belonging to the "Bellini Collection" have been acquired.The museum also displays considerable objects of the roman period and the San Donato Abbey group of pluteus;dating from the early Middle Ages.There is an interesting collection of marine fossils from Cheglio di Taino;which has recently been classified by computer.
In an impressive 18th century villa on the hills of Varese;Count Giuseppe Panza di Biumo collected hundreds of master pieces of contemporary American art over a period of 40 years which are now housed in first class museums such as the Solomon R.Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art.Donated to FAI in 1996 by Count Panza and his wife;the villa holds the only part of their impressive collection that is still in Italy today.Many works that were made specifically for rooms of the villa in the 70s (such as Dan Flavin's permanent site specific installation Varese Corridor);priceless pieces of Italian Renaissance furniture and a collection of tribal art are also on view in the villa.The Italian-Style superb garden offers a spectacular viewpoint from which visitors can enjoy the panorama of the Italian Alps.
