Il Museo dell’Opera di Guido Calori è ospitato all’interno del suggestivo chiostro del seicentesco palazzo che fu convento delle Clarisse di San Gemini, situato nel punto più elevato del paese, nel Rione Rocca.
L’intero complesso, comprendente anche la piccola Chiesa di Santa Caterina, si snoda tra la medievale via del Tribunale e le mura castellane. La collezione, conservata nel Museo, raccoglie le opere pittoriche e scultoree di Guido Calori (oltre all’archivio, i disegni, i bozzetti e gli strumenti di lavoro) che erano conservate presso i suoi studi romani.
La collezione e l’edificio che la ospita, di recente interamente restaurato, sono stati dichiarati, nel 1990, d’eccezionale valore storico-culturale e dunque sottoposti a vincolo da parte della Soprintendenza ai beni artistici; nel 1992 anche l’archivio è stato tutelato per la sua indubbia importanza.
Oggi, a distanza di circa quindici anni dalla prima apertura al pubblico, si propone un più attento studio dell’opera del maestro ed un progetto articolato per la tutela e valorizzazione dell’intero complesso.

The collection,preserved in the Museum, collects paintings and sculptures by Guido Calori (in addition to the archive, drawings, sketches and working tools) that had been kept at his studies in Rome.
