Complesso museale di San Francesco, Art and archaeology museum complex in Trevi, Italy
The San Francesco Museum Complex occupies a former convent building arranged across multiple floors with separate exhibition spaces displaying local artifacts, artworks, and archaeological finds. The rooms unfold through several levels and present collections spanning art and archaeology from the region.
The complex began as a 13th-century Franciscan convent and underwent major reconstruction and decorative work in the early 17th century. These changes shaped the building's current appearance and artistic features.
The collection includes medieval and Renaissance paintings by Giovanni di Pietro and displays that trace olive growing traditions across the Umbrian region.
The museum is walkable from central Trevi and offers parking nearby along with WiFi access for visitors. Wear comfortable shoes as you will climb stairs to reach the different levels throughout the complex.
The outer cloister displays frescoes by Bernardino Gagliardi portraying scenes from Saint Francis's life, giving the space a distinctive character. Combined with artifacts from the Pietrarossa necropolis, they form an unusual pairing of religious art and archaeological treasures.
