In this room the oldest works of art in the Museum are exhibited. Among these are the items that tradition assigns to St Pietro Igneo (Florence, 11th century – Albano Laziale, 8 February 1089): the miter, and the ivory and wood pastoral. Of the great crucifix made by Berlinghiero Berlinghieri for the abbey of St Salvatore, perhaps commissioned by Abbot Giovanni, only the right table with St Lorenzo and an unidentified saint survives in Fucecchio. The fresco with the Madonna and Child, attributed to Francesco di Michele, is the result of the rescue in 1862 of a work of art destined for demolition together with the building in which it was located. The altarpiece by Giovanni di Ser Giovanni, known as the Scheggia, is developed indigeneously with the three saints Lazarus, Magdalene and Martha travelling from Palestine to Provence. The table for domestic devotion with the Madonna in adoration of the Child is attributed to Zanobi Machiavelli and bears the verses of Petrarch’s song 366 on the golden edge of Mary’s mantle.
