The museum lays inside the recently renovated
 eighteenth-century
church of S. John the Baptist that overlooks on Peretti
square, the main square of the old town.
The museum is mainly dedicated to the memory of Felice
Peretti, a strong personality man, born in Grottammare
in 1521 and ascended to the papal throne as Sisto V.
 To
his native town Felice Peretti bequeathed a lot of
valuable objects that testify his close bond with his
country. Some of the most important works are an old
priviale for liturgical celebrations, a chalice with
paten and a medal with the effigy of Camilla Peretti,
the sister of the Pope.
There are furthermore some precious paintings by
Vittorio Crivelli and Vincenzo Pagani, two famous
artists from Marche. |
