After holding, between 2005 and 2007, the expositions ‘Tintoretto’s Cycle’ and the series of paintings of the Patriarchal Palace and the Officina Dűrer, the Diocese Museum will open again to the public from 1st November 2007.
While the adjacent former church of Saints Filippo and Giacomo (ex Jesurum) is in the process of being restored, the new setting up now inaugurated will give us the opportunity of admiring the exposition of some works belonging to the permanent collection of the Museum, including some canvases coming from Venetian churches, in some of which worship is forbidden and some of them  are intended for other uses.
There is, then, such new idea of an artistic itinerary intentionally created to place the paintings back in their original setting. From the iconography of Mary, which reconstructs the most relevant stages of the Virgin’s life, to the Cycle of St. Saba which comes from St.Antonin’s Church, to the one of the school of the Great Christ of St. Marcuola. The public will also have the opportunity of seeing an altar piece by Tintoretto, belonging to the small church of San Gallo, which has already been restored.
Moreover we cannot miss the collection of liturgical silverware, namely one of the richest and most complete collections in

the North of Italy and some wooden masterpieces, besides some new acquisitions such as the panel with the Sacred Family (first half of the Sixteenth century) by the Bellini school follower Pierfrancesco Bissolo, coming from St. Fantin’s Church and the Leone Marciano in Moleca, namely a high-relief made of Aurisina stone, by a sculptor  of the Veneto dating back to the half of the Fourteenth century.
The exhibition will be opened by the ‘Resurrection’ by Gregorio Lazzarini (1720) coming from Ca’Cottoni’s Church in Caorle.
