Room 15 - Rutilio Manetti

The room displays important paintings that were once housed in the major churches of Asciano. These works were mainly created in the 1600s by artists of the caliber of Rutilio Manetti, with his Vision of Saint Felice of Cantalice, Bernardino Mei, and Francesco Nasini, the authors of two Crucifixions. The only 18th-century painting, dated 1723, depicts Saint Lawrence healing a child; this piece was created by Donato Creti, one of the best painters active in Bologna during that period.
