History, worship and beauty are the synthesis of the contents of the Museum, founded in 1997: three words that encapsulate the itinerary of men and women through the more than 250 years of the Diocese founded in 1748.
Three words that can be read in the paintings and sculptures, in the fabrics and metals of the liturgical furnishings, in the sacred vessels, and in the archive papers that have come to the Museum, which is entrusted with the protection and enhancement of historical interpretation.
The presence of some ‘torn’ frescoes (14th century), drawings and sketches from the School of Enrico Reffo between the 19th and 20th centuries, and some cartoons for wall paintings in Pinerolo churches by Michele Baretta between 1946 and 1966 is noteworthy.
