Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art
 

The museum is in the Old Bishop’s Palace of Feltre, built in the late 13th century and subsequently renovated, and contains 90 works including masterpieces by Jacopo Tintoretto, Sebastiano Ricci and Andrea Brustolon. 

 

Of particular note are the 5th-century Chalice of Deacon Orso, believed to be the oldest Eucharistic chalice in the West, the Lombard Paderno pluteus, rich in early Christian symbolism, two 13th century silver astylar crosses, the reliquary bust of St. Sylvester by the Tuscan goldsmith Antonio di Salvi, a post Byzantine cross from 1542, and the painting of San Gerolamo by Luca Giordano.

 

"It's an amazing experience to be able to see the Byzantine Cross, such tiny piece of wood narrates the entir bible, just amazing"

Il Museo diocesano di Belluno-Feltre ha sede nell’antico vescovado di Feltre: l’edificio sorge in splendida posizione all’interno della cittadella, sul limite occidentale della cinta murata, in pendant rispetto al Castello.

Edificio di notevoli dimensioni, ha visto accrescimenti e sistemazioni effettuati nel corso dei secoli: sulle antiche porzioni medioevali (sorte probabilmente su strutture ancora precedenti) si sono infatti sovrapposti gli adattamenti, gli ampliamenti, i rifacimenti seguiti alla guerra cambraica del 1510, le migliorie e le decorazioni apportate dai vari vescovi che si susseguirono nell’occupazione della grande sede episcopale.
