Located in the convent of San Domenico, the museum was founded in 1857 based on research conducted by geologist and palaeontologist, Giuseppe Scarabelli, and grew thanks to private donations.
A wonderful example of a nineteenth century museum, it houses sections dedicated to prehistoric archaeology with findings from Palaeolithic sites and from the Bronze Age, to geology with a rich selection of rocks, minerals, fossils and other collections and finally a section dedicated to nature.
The Saint Dominic Museum is also part of the museum itinerary
