Museo Tripisciano, Art museum in central Caltanissetta, Italy.

The Museo Tripisciano occupies four large, bright rooms of Palazzo Moncada, a building of the first half of the 17th century in Largo Paolo Barile. Each room is named after the works it holds: the Sala del Belli with the preparatory sketches for the marble statue of Belli in Rome, the Sala dell'Angelo with the plaster of the Angel with the cross, the Sala dell'Orfeo with the marble Orfeo on a pedestal, and the Sala degli oratori with the plasters of Paolo and Ortensio, whose marbles stand in Rome's Palazzo di Giustizia.

Michele Tripisciano, a native of Caltanissetta, worked in Rome between the late 19th and early 20th centuries and followed an ideal classicism in commemorative public sculpture. On his deathbed he donated all his plaster casts to his hometown; the permanent exhibition opened in 2010, after the works had been kept in rooms of the city's archaeological museum. It holds 71 pieces, about half his output, while other works remain in storage.

The collection reflects the artistic vision of a local sculptor who worked across different materials and subjects. You can see how religious themes and commemorative works are expressed through classical forms.

The museum occupies four rooms of Palazzo Moncada, entered from Largo Paolo Barile in the city centre. Each room is named after the works it holds: the Sala del Belli, Sala dell'Angelo, Sala dell'Orfeo and Sala degli oratori. The rooms are grouped by theme rather than chronology, and the Pro loco manages visits.

The museum holds about half of Tripisciano's entire output: 71 works, mostly the plaster casts he left to Caltanissetta at his death, alongside marbles and bronzes. Several pieces are kept in storage and not currently shown, so the display is only part of the donation.
