Museo archeologico Francesco Savini (Italian for Archaeology Museum Francesco Savini) is an archaeology museum in Teramo, Abruzzo. [1]
The building that houses the museum has changed its use several times over the centuries. It stands on an area built in the 13th century. [2] In 1613, [2] the first transformations occurred when internal works began for the construction of the church dedicated to St. Charles, to which a convent was added, which in 1742 [2] was transformed into an orphanage. Once, as recalled by Niccola Palma, [3] the place of worship was also known as the "Chapel of the Conservatory of the Orphans of St. Charles." Later, in 1833, [2] the building underwent a series of restorations, and in 1842, [2] it was expanded. In 1878, [2] the orphanage was relocated, [2] and the building was destined to become the Palazzo del Tribunale. [4] [5] [1]
Owned by the local municipal administration and established in 1997, it houses the most extensive local exhibition of ancient artifacts, with items cataloged from prehistory to the classical age, and also includes works and artifacts dating up to the end of the 18th century and beyond. [4] Within the Sistema Museale Città di Teramo (also known by the acronym CMT, i.e., Civici Musei Teramo), it is the central hub of the organization that groups together archaeological sites and other museums in the center of Abruzzo. [6] These include the Pinacoteca civica and the sites of the Roman theater, the Roman amphitheater, the domus of Torre Bruciata, the domus of Largo Madonna delle Grazie, and the Necropoli di Ponte Messato. [4]
The dedication to Francesco Savini honors the figure of the Teramo historian, archaeologist, and paleographer [7] [8] who concentrated his research interests in the geographic area of Teramo in Abruzzo.
The exhibition space of the Teramo museum offers an overview of the local territory from prehistory to the Middle Ages, up to the Renaissance.
It is divided into two sections:
On the top floor of the museum, some documents from the city's history are preserved, coming from the Municipal Historical Archive. [8]
In addition to the exhibition path, the museum organizes educational workshops, temporary exhibitions, guided tours, and other activities. [8] [11]
Inside the Savini museum is the San Carlo Auditorium, located in the space of the former Church or Chapel of the Conservatory of the Orphans of San Carlo. Also owned by the Teramo Municipal Administration, it covers an area of 175 m² and has a capacity of about 99 people. The auditorium also includes two rooms for technical equipment and instrumentation. It can be used for conferences, socio-cultural initiatives, seminars, theatrical performances, book presentations, concerts, and civil weddings. [12]
