Room 14 - Silvers

The furnishings and liturgical vestments displayed in this room come not only from the main churches of the historic center but also from various religious buildings scattered throughout the Asciano territory. Most of the objects, including censers, chalices, monstrances, reliquaries, chasubles, and ciboria, span a wide period from the 16th to the 19th century. From the 15th century, however, there is a *Pace* featuring Christ in Piety, a piece that was kissed by the faithful during religious ceremonies as a sign of peace. As you exit the room, you'll find the large 18th-century wooden statue of Saint Agatha, which was once carried in procession by the community on her feast day, February 5th.
