The
exhibition is currently articulated in two floors.
The ground floor accommodates the art of inscriptions
part divided in sections: Roman, paleobizantina, altomedioevale
and Romanesque. In the stairwell the Cernazai's collection
is exposed, it includes some burial registrations
in Greek and Latin coming from the Dalmatia. The southern
section of the ground floor is divided in three rooms
two of them contain fragments of tabernacle, columns,
plutei, capital, pilastrini, frames from the VI to
the IX century. The last room accommodates the pieces
of Romanesque age (XII-XIII sec.) including the bestiario
medioevale, with fantastic animals and with pilastrini
of the same age. In the inner courtyard of the Palace
there are exposed Jewish's tombstones coming from
the cemetary of the " stretta giudaica "
and coats of arms of different periods. The noble
floor of the Palace accommodates the Longobarda Exhibition
that includes seven rooms. The material is ordered
chronologically, showing the handmake of the first
longobardo takeover in " Forum Julii ",
most of which imported, founded in the old necropoli
of S. Giovanni e Cella (VI - VII sec.). Great suggestion
gives the room that accommodates the roman sarcofago
and the equipment of the c.d. Duca Gisulfo, founded
in the 1874 in Paolo Diacono's Square (half of the
VII century).
In the last room is represented the last expression
of the longobarda's art, already influenced by the
Carolingio world (Pace del Duca Orso; two holders
of the treasure of the Dome, in silver; Invillino's
cross). For a better understanding of the exhibition
a new didactic presentation has been experienced,
notice-board are displayed above the windows that
explain in a simple way the usages and the customs
of the Longobardi and the practical employment of
the objects exposed.
