The Museo San Pietro, in the monumental setting of the former monastery of the same name, is the product of a merger between the Civic and Diocesan Museum of Religious Art on the one hand, and the Conservatorio di San Pietro, Romano Bilenchi Collection and Walter Fusi Collections on the other. The exhibition traces the history of the city through its art, in a context of ceaseless interaction between the civic and religious spheres so typical of life in the Middle Ages. The visit begins on the first floor with a display of religious works of art telling the story of the Christian faith in the Valdelsa area from its origins to the foundation of the Diocese of Colle. It continues on the second floor with the civic collections of 19th and 20th century works of art. Of particular importance in this connection is the section devoted to the Collection of Romano Bilenchi, which hosts a selection of works from the rich collection of this writer born in Colle.
