Museo di Stato (National Museum)
The Museo di Stato - an outstanding museum, housed in the old Palazzo Pergami Belluzzi, displays archaeological exhibits ranging from Neolithic through Etruscan and Roman findings. Egyptian antiquities, Byzantine icons, 17th-century paintings, and antique San Marino coins are among the ancient art collections, which are not limited to the Italian peninsula.
Many of the roughly 5,000 pieces in the museum were donated in the 19th century from private collections of Italian intellectuals and politicians who wanted to express their respect for the tiny country. The "Tanaccia" votive bronzes and Domagnano's gold fibula have unique significance. Both exhibits were part of an Ostrogoth princess's burial gear, which was buried approximately 500 AD. Michele Gambono, Baccio Bandinelli, Tiburzio Passerotti, and Bernardo Strozzi are among the artists represented in the gallery. A collection of San Marinese coins and medals from 1864 to 1937 is featured in another exhibit.
The Museo di Stato is open from 9 am to 5 pm. The entrance price is € 6,50 for two Museums to choose from First Tower, Second Tower, St. Francis Museum, State Museum, National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, and Public Palace* only if it welcomes visitors.
Address: Piazzetta del Titano 1, San Marino Città
