Utensilia Museum Underground

Utensilia Museum Underground

The “Utensilia” Museum is a carefully curated and documented collection of the life and productive means of the Marche region’s sharecroppers (mezzadri), who for years were the foundation of a rigidly self-sufficient society—almost a “domestic industry”—capable of meeting its daily needs through a semi-natural integration with the surrounding environment. The exhibition features a large selection […]

Church of Saint Mary of the Flower

Church of Saint Mary of the Flower

The medieval dedication to Santa Maria di Marciano changed after reconstruction to Santa Maria del Fiore di Marciano, because the single altar was decorated with a fresco of the pregnant Virgin holding a rose—a depiction that was rare and soon abandoned, as it was considered unsuitable to represent Mary’s mystical role. The current building appears […]
