Verona, Italy

The small room houses some sacred art objects present among the furnishings of the house Miniscalchi-Erizzo.
Inside the case are exposed the “Agnus Dei”, or wax medallions variable in shape and size, blessed by the Roman Pontiff in certain circumstances, bearing on the front the image of the Paschal Lamb with the cross and on the back the representation of a Saint or some sacred event. This collection belonged to Orazio Moscardo, second son of Ludovico, canon of the Cathedral of Verona.
In the other showcase are instead exposed 18 ivory plates, engraved in burin, of Lombardy area dating from the middle of the 15th century. They represent part of the decoration of a small tabernacle.
The small room is completed by two liturgical vestments dating back to the 18th century, used by the priest to preside over the Eucharistic celebration.
