History and description
The Museo Regionale Agostino Pepoli (English: Pepoli Regional Museum) is a museum of art and decorative arts in Trapani, Sicily. It is housed in the former 14th-century Carmelite monastery adjacent to the Basilica-santuario di Maria Santissima Annunziata.
The museum holds collections that reflect the artistic and cultural heritage of the region. Its scope and richness make it one of the principal cultural institutions in western Sicily, and the most important museum in Trapani.
Collection
The museum houses a large collection of paintings, cribs, sculpture and decorative arts, including works by Antonello Gagini and in coral and silver. The paintings include works by Titian (Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata) and Giacomo Balla (a portrait of Nunzio Nasi), a 15th-century Valencian Madonna and Child with Angels, a 1380 Pietà by Roberto d'Oderisio and a St Andrew by the Flemish artist Geronimo Gerardi. It also includes the "Tesoro della Madonna", product of several donations to the Madonna di Trapani. The collection includes archaeological remains from the province (in 2009 Edipuglia published a catalogue of the Museum's archaeological collections) and historical relics of the Risorgimento era from Trapani, including a Bourbon-era guillotine and the ensign of the Lombardo, which brought Garibaldi and "The Thousand" to Sicily.
