The Guido Calori Opera Museum is housed in the third cloister of the former convent of the Poor Clares of San Gemini located at the highest point of the town, the Rione Rocca. The entire complex, including vast buildings with two other cloisters and the small church dedicated to Santa Caterina, winds between the medieval alley of the Court and the castle walls, still preserved in the stretch that surrounds the elegant garden attached to the building. Transferred to private owners in the 1940s, the entire ground floor became an exhibition venue from the early 1980s. The Museum collects most of the pictorial and sculptural works created by Guido Calori, which were kept in his Roman studio in via Pinciana. Thanks to the commitment of the family it was possible to purchase and then restore the current venue, using six rooms on the ground floor as an exhibition venue to contain the artist's work and above all to collect the drawings, the archive and the instruments of work that had remained in various warehouses used by the artist in Florence during the long period in which he had been a professor at the Academy of the Tuscan capital. The set of Guido Calori's works and the building that houses them have been declared of exceptional historical-artistic value and therefore subjected to restrictions by the Superintendency of Artistic Heritage since 1990 and later, in 1992, the archive is also been protected for its undoubted historical-documentary value.
