The Museum

The Museum of Cantiano is made up of two, distinct macro-sections established in two different time periods: the GeoTerritorial Museum inaugurated in December 2001 and the Archeological - Flaminia Road "Giulio Cesare Corsi" Museum inaugurated in July of 2003.

  • The GeoTerritorial Museum first proposes a presentation explaining the birth and evolution of the planet Earth, followed by a tour which begins with a clear prologue, the stratigraphic sequence typical of the Umbro-Marchigiana area, which is a prelude to the analysis of the rocks which characterise the territory of Cantiano. The explanation is strictly connected to the forms of anthropisation occurring locally through the centuries, showing the use that man has made of the rocks, how this has contributed to shaping the landscape and how it has concretely influenced many of man's settlement activities and the development of the communities.

 

  • The Archaeological – Flaminian Road “G. C. Corsi" Museum conserves finds strictly tied to the territory, mostly found by local scholars and enthusiasts. The most consistent nucleus of material is the work of the scouting and collection of Giulio Cesare Corsi, a citizen of Cantiano, now deceased. This collection is essentially divided into four sections: Prehistoric, Pre-roman, Roman and Medieval. The artefacts conserved in the museum are of a more or less heterogeneous nature, because they are the result of surface reconnaissance, but they make it possible to reconstruct, rather realistically, the network of successive settlements over the centuries in the territory of Cantiano.

Currently the Museum exhibitions are in the renovated rooms of the convent annexed to the church of S. Agostino (St. Augustine).
