Museo di Arte Sacra.

The treasure of San Giorgio Martire - Between ancient and modern.

The Sacred Art Museum inaugurated in June 2008 is located in the rectory of the Church of San Giorgio Martire in Zumpano. It collects the testimonies that in the times have been an expression of religiosity and cult of the parish community, but it was also a place of aggregation of civil society, in fact, within its walls, periodic assemblies were held, as evidenced by manuscripts of the seventeenth century, some of which preserved in the Diocesan Archive. In the sacred rooms are kept objects finely worked by local craftsmen, which have come down to us; their use allows us to understand how much devotion and care the faithful had for worship, realizing, not without sacrifices, authentic masterpieces, expressions of faith and art, such as those kept in the Museum of Sacred Art of Zumpano. In addition to being a reminder of a glorious past, the Municipal Museum is a living testimony of ancient and ever-present religious cultural values. In addition to the administrators and the parish priest of Zumpano, the splendid structure was inaugurated by the then Archbishop Mons. Salvatore Nunnari. The preparation of the Treasury of San Giorgio Martire di Zumpano was made on the lower floor of the rectory and includes, in addition to the exhibition areas, a space dedicated to conferences, named after the painter Bartolomeo Vivarini.

The first and second exhibition room, preceded by digital prints with evangelical passages, are set up only with crystal cases, in which important testimonies are placed: silver furnishings and liturgical vestments from the church of San Giorgio.
In the second and last room, containing two copes, a planet and a cassock, the beautiful silver twisted cross stands out.
