In this section we present some of them, selected on the basis of their relevance and their strong connection to the Bracciano area. What they have in common is the strong bond they share with the Bracciano territory. The Apollo of Vicarello for instance was found in an archaeological area within the municipality itself. The annunciation highlights the historical link between Bracciano and Florence, consolidated in 1553 by the marriage between Isabella de&#8217; Medici and Paolo Giordano Orsini, Duke of Bracciano.    <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-118e028 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"118e028\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-59ca24e elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"59ca24e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" id=\"a01944b3-882c-4616-aa63-a98050fb2a66\" data-name=\"Layer 1\" width=\"1.9329cm\" height=\"1.8407cm\" viewBox=\"0 0 54.7899 52.1785\"><polygon points=\"26.443 0 0 51.096 1.681 52.179 28.124 1.083 26.443 0\" style=\"fill-rule:evenodd\"><\/polygon><polygon points=\"53.109 0 26.666 51.096 28.347 52.179 54.79 1.083 53.109 0\" style=\"fill-rule:evenodd\"><\/polygon><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e675b46 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e675b46\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>Highlights worth a visit: a stupendous marble sculpture Venus and Adonis, a 17th-century work by Cristoforo Stati and a fabulous Apollo from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comune.bracciano.rm.it\/vivere-il-comune\/terme-di-vicarello\/\">Terme di Vicarello<\/a> (2nd century A.D.).<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94b928a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"94b928a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>M.

The painter and biographer Giovanni Baglione wrote in 1642: &#8220;Christofano Braccianese has made a Venus and an Adonis of the finest marble, which can be found in Bracciano, naked figures so well sculpted, and so alive, that they will enchant anyone who looks at them&#8221; (&#8220;Vite de&#8217; scultori, pittori et architetti&#8221;). The sculpture, preserved by the Odescalchi family, was restituted to the city by Prince Baldassarre in 1886 and placed in the town hall. It was rediscovered by art historian Valentino Martinelli in 1957, was dated to the early 17th century and presented as one of the masterpieces of Latium Mannerism.

The statue of the god Apollo was found in the northwest part of the nymphaeum of the baths in 1977. The bust is made of Pentelic marble (Greek) and depicts a young Apollo, beardless and with a cloak on his shoulders, fastened by a rounded clasp. The left hand appears to hold a rounded object, probably a torch, a typical iconographic element in representations of Apollo. The statue was probably more than two meters tall. Its prototype has been identified in the sculptural art of Attica from the 4th century B.C.     <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

19th-century copy of the one created by Andrea della Robbia around 1490 and displayed in the Spedale degli Innocenti in Florence. A study by the museum revealed that the work was in the catalog of the Florentine Cantagalli manufactory, which specialized in the production of robbiane. Ulisse Cantagalli, the owner, was a friend of Prince Baldassarre Odescalchi and may have given him the lunette. It is likely that the work arrived in Bracciano between 1888 and 1900. The lunette was defective from its manufacture due to a problem during firing and probably for this reason was never displayed.

It is one of the oldest model alphabets of the Latin language, datable to the second half of the 4th century B.C., in which the process of evolution can still be seen: some letters (A, E, L, S, X) are in a form that is evolving toward the final one. A pillar of Latin linguistic history, it was studied by Professor Lidio Gasperini, a key figure in national and local epigraphic culture, and the artifact has thus found its rightful place in the archaeological world.    <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e9d6a4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3e9d6a4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f4915f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7f4915f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Second half of 4th century B.C.<br\/>Caeretan production<br\/>Hazel clay with black glaze decoration<br\/>4.5 x 14 cm (rim diameter) <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3b4d76 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f3b4d76\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>In the museum you will find it in Room B<\/strong>: The Etruscan age<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-afcaf84 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"afcaf84\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a title=\"Museo Civico di Bracciano, CC BY-SA 4.0 <https:>, via Wikimedia Commons<\/https:>\" href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Sala_B_-_Museo_Civico_di_Bracciano_-_CP_100_Piattello_Genucilia_con_alfabetario.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" alt=\"Room B - Museo Civico di Bracciano - CP 100 Genucilia plate with alphabet\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/1\/1e\/Sala_B_-_Museo_Civico_di_Bracciano_-_CP_100_Piattello_Genucilia_con_alfabetario.jpg\/500px-Sala_B_-_Museo_Civico_di_Bracciano_-_CP_100_Piattello_Genucilia_con_alfabetario.jpg\"><\/a><br>Museo Civico di Bracciano, CC BY-SA 4.0<https:>, via Wikimedia Commons<\/https:>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5b9575 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d5b9575\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"manichino-devozionale\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-554f02a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"554f02a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Devotional mannequin <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e39014c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e39014c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The practice of dressing cult statues dates back to remote antiquity. Around the 16th century, under Spanish influence, these objects became widespread for processional purposes. The ability to dress them made these true cult images always &#8220;fashionable.&#8221;    <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the early decades of the 20th century the Church banned the use of &#8216;dressed Madonnas,&#8217; deeming that mass-produced statues made of poor materials were not in conformity with liturgical norms. This Madonna was found in the late 1990s, during the restoration of the building, inside the Augustinian convent where the museum is housed. It is possible that this is the image of the Madonna carried in procession in Bracciano by the Augustinian friars themselves on August 15 starting around 1715.   <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In its last arrangement the Madonna wore a dress datable to around 1870, probably offered by a noblewoman. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c21272e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c21272e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb403f1 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"eb403f1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe7ef1b elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fe7ef1b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Mannequin:<br\/>18th century<br\/>Latium manufactory, wood, woven cotton and horsehair<br\/>160 cm<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a0bcd4 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8a0bcd4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Dress:<br\/>First half of 19th century (1840-1845)<br\/>Italian manufactory<br\/>Printed cotton muslin<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23616c3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"23616c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>In the museum you will find it in Room E<\/strong>: Testimonies of sacred art<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45a5e93 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"45a5e93\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a title=\"Museo Civico di Bracciano, CC BY-SA 4.0 <https:>, via Wikimedia Commons<\/https:>\" href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Sala_E_-_Museo_Civico_di_Bracciano_-_MCB_n._20_-_manichino_devozionale_con_abito.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" alt=\"Room E -
