The Museum of Ecclesiastical Assets of the Diocese of Rieti, with its exhibition path winding through the Cathedral and the ancient Palace of the Popes, is equipped with a website that aims to share beyond the city walls and strictly ecclesiastical spheres its heritage of history, art, and faith collected over the centuries: liturgical objects, statues, paintings, and vestments document the ways and styles with which the catechetical will of the clergy, the skill of local artists, and popular religiosity have been expressed using a divulgative lexicon, but never vernacular, to convey through images the sense of the Sacred and the feeling of the Holy in a culturally marginal environment yet sensitive to the influences of artistic currents developed in major cultural centers, from Rome to the Abruzzi, from Umbria to Tuscany and the Marche.
