Museo dell'Opera del Duomo
In the itinerary that unfolds around the museum complex of the Cathedral, you will be led into the right aisle of the Duomo Nuovo, to the headquarters of the Museo dell'Opera, one of the oldest private museums established in Italy. It was founded in 1869 with the consent of the Ministry of Public Education, during a very fertile period of achievements. Its headquarters is prestigious. The collection is indeed held in the rooms derived from closing the first three spans of the right aisle of the so-called "Duomo Nuovo", whose construction began in 1339 and was interrupted after the Black Death of 1348.
