Museo Civico “Baldassare Romano”

Profile Description

The Civic Museum of Termini Imerese can be considered the most important museum of the province of Palermo for the considerable interest of the material stored in it. It consists of two main sections. In the archaelogical section are retained those objects dating from the Upper Paleolithic to the Arab-Norman period.

Among the most representative artefacts there are: a bell-shaped crater of the 5th Century BC some leonine heads from the Himera Temple, a marble stele with coins’ frezes of the Himera and Thermae period, some votive heads, the sculpture of Agrippina the Elder (a testimony of the Arab presence in Termini Imerese in the 900 AD) and an important Arabic inscription in the tuff.

The other part of the museum is dedicated to the historical and artistic artefacts as for example: a triptych painted, the Triumph of the Heresy of V.zo La Barbera, St. Catherine of Graffeo, the Annunciation, the Virgin Mary by P. Novelli, and a sketch of St. Jerome by G. Bernini.

The old structure was founded in 1350 by Gregory Salimpipi and subsequently entrusted to the fathers of St. John of God. In 1866 it became definitively a property of Termini Imerese. In 1873, the old hospital was assigned to the Museum. Only in 1990, the structure was finally offered to the public use and dedicated to the memory of Baldassare Roman, a scholar of antiquity who lived in the 19th Century.

With a subsequent annexation, the historical – contemporary microsection has been inaugurated in order to host the most important local personalities and some contemporary artefacts gifted to the city.
