Rediscovering the Museo Civico di Viterbo: A New Catalog for the Pinacoteca

The work offers an updated catalog of the paintings, sculptures and drawings currently exhibited in the Pinacoteca of the Museo Civico di Viterbo. The research involved a historical-critical analysis of the pieces, going beyond technical aspects such as the study of materials, measurements and techniques, to include an in-depth reflection on style and external influences that have contributed to shaping the artistic context of Viterbo. This approach led to new attributions and a clearer understanding of the historical and cultural value of the artworks within the collection. The catalog does not merely document the individual works of artbut aims to attract a wider audience, providing a solid foundation for further research and contributing to a more comprehensive and complete narrative. The project’s goal is to make the Museo Civico di Viterbo more accessible to both local and international audiences, enhancing the visitor experience by fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of its valuable heritage. Furthermore, the catalog enriches the artistic narrative by intertwining it with the social, economic, and cultural history of the Viterbo community. The project also has the potential to foster international collaborations, increasing the museum's visibility on a global scale and offering a broader perspective on the worldwide artistic landscape.
