Diocese Museum of Cortona

For all of the years we have been coming to Cortona we had just passed by a small door, never bothering about what was inside. One of the locals told us we had been missing something really beautiful. We toured it a couple of days ago and it really is beautiful. Some of the most magnificent ancient works of art. The lower oratory frescoes are from 1554!

The vault of the Oratory circa 1554
Lamentation over the Dead Christ, First half of 16th Century

Madonna and Child Second decade of 14th Century Gano di Fazio
Annunciation by Fra Angelico circa 1434-1436
