Fossano

The Diocesan Museum is situated on the ground floor of the former Seminary. The exhibition begins with the images of the thirty-three parish churches that the Diocese is composed of, as well as with a photo video that describes its history form its foundation, in 1592, and illustrates the works of its bishops. The museum collection includes sacred art works that belonged to the three Brotherhoods that have operated in Fossano for centuries: the Battuti Rossi Brotherhood, which helped sick people; the Battuti Bianchi Brotherhood, which worked to free people from slavery; the Battuti Neri Brotherhood, which gave assistance to people sentenced to death. The collection also included the decorations and the sacred objects of the St Joseph church in Fossano, which have been moved to this Museum.
