Through;the Carpenter's Museum;it was my intention to tell the story of my job.In June 20th1987;the Museum was born and opened in Tino Sana srl Company premises and then moved in its new and definitive seat in Papa Giovanni XXIII street.The new building;designed by Arch.Cesare Rota Nodari;opened in October;28th 2000:it has three floors for a total of 3500 sqm with an outside waterfall working saw-mill.
The carpenter's story is told through the disposition of the shops presenting several trades of wood working;with the antique wood-made machines and with some old lathes from 1600/1700/1800.
Many expressions of people life have been associated to the wood from houses to the shops of the old crafts.
At the Museum many bikes are on exhibition some wooden bikes of XIX century;some bikes of XX century and the bikes;T-shirts and trophies belonging to one of our most representative champion:Felice Gimondi;to whom the room is dedicated and where there are also some working tools used by street trader;who worked using a bicycle.
The Museum documents the use of wood in the means of transport:in the sledges;in the boats;in the regional carts;in the gigs;in the carriages and cars and even in the planes.On exhibition there is a plane which belonged to a much-decorated Italian pilot:Mr Antonio Locatelli.
With the hand-made puppets and their wood house;made by artists from Bergamo;there is an artist shop "Brusafer" of Aldo Caratti for iron hand-working.
The Museum has also a library-conference room and some rooms for the drawing school and an equipped area for wood working training school.
Whoever visits my Museum will see what I feel in looking at these objects and what they represent for me:the engagement;the efforts;the art and above all my love for one of the trade born with the Man.
The Museum of Sacred Art San Martino is in Alzano Lombardo;it has its seat inside a sixteenth century edifice constructed by Earls Tasso;in 1670 it became the seat of Earls Pelliccioli of the Palace.The museum was founded in 1995;after a complex restructuring intervention due to the extreme precariousness in which the structure was.Nowadays;after a series of enlargements;the museum course is organized in three expositive levels;according to specific didactic principles.

This institution was the result of the decision taken by Count Giacomo Carrara (1714-1796) to create a school of fine arts with adjoining picture gallery in accordance with the Enlightenment idea of spreading culture through society.On his death;the Carrara Academy grew so quickly that new neoclassical premises were designed by Simone Elia and completed in 1810.The 19th century saw only one important purchase;namely the collection of the Venetian patrician Orsetti (1804);and the two major bequests (Lochis in 1866 and Morelli in 1891);but also the only great dispersal of works;by public auction in 1835.The academy was well established in its role as a municipal museum when it underwent its first modern reorganization;based no longer on the collections of illustrious connoisseurs for which it provided a setting but on chronological and regional criteria (Corrado Ricci;1912 and 1930).The new arrangement of 1955 (G.A.Dell'Acqua and Fernanda Wittgens) remained in place until the ongoing closure for renovation work (2008).The collections now comprise about 1;800 paintings;3;000 drawings;8;000 prints and 80 sculptures (plus the 46 important works of the Federico Zeri bequest of 1998) as well as works of the minor arts;furniture;a library with many volumes once owned by Giacomo Carrara;and materials from the academy (paintings;drawings;cartoons and plaster sculptures).

L’idea di costituire un Museo Diocesano a Brescia è relativamente recente.Dell’iniziativa si faceva carico monsignor Angelo Pietrobelli nella seconda metà degli anni settanta del novecento;questi individuò nel complesso conventuale di San Giuseppe;un tempo sede dei Francescani Osservanti;la sede adeguata per accogliere il primo nucleo di opere provenienti per lo più da chiese non più officiate e quindi difficilmente fruibili.Nel 1978;il vescovo di Brescia Luigi Morstabilini istituiva canonicamente la “Fondazione di religione” denominata “Museo Diocesano di Arte Sacra”.Il museo veniva inaugurato il 23 dicembre dello stesso anno e aveva sede nei primi due chiostri del complesso conventuale.Il 21 aprile 1988;il vescovo Bruno Foresti;sostituiva il precedente statuto con uno nuovo;in cui si stabiliva che;oltre al recupero e alla conservazione di opere d’arte e di materiali della Diocesi minacciati di rovina e di dispersione;sono finalità del museo anche il restauro;le iniziative culturali e le attività didattiche.Nel frattempo giungeva al suo compimento l’acquisizione del chiostro maggiore del complesso di San Giuseppe;di proprietà demaniale;processo lungo e complesso che ha permesso;sul finire degli anni ottanta;di collocare le collezioni del Museo Diocesano in una sede più idonea e prestigiosa.Nel 2007 il vescovo Giulio Sanguineti dotava il Museo Diocesano di un nuovo statuto;avviando contemporaneamente l'iter per il riconoscimento civile della fondazione Canonica.Il 3 febbraio 2010 il Ministero dell'Interno (5435 PD) ha riconosciuto il Museo Diocesano come Fondazione di Religione e di Culto.<b>Note</b>:il Museo Diocesano rimarrà chiuso da venerdì 10 gennaio a venerdì 31 gennaio 2014 per la consueta chiusura invernale.Si riapre sabato 1 febbraio 2014.
