Artworks

During the 1880s, many stone sculptures arrived at the museum from the surrounding areas, through purchases and donations. The marble courtyard represents an open-air museum with a nineteenth-century conception.

On the facades of the palace, there are eight marble coats of arms embedded. In addition to these, three fleurs-de-lis of France, also made of marble, are incorporated on the north side.

It is quite unusual for a private palace to have a chapel for the celebration of Mass. The della Silva family, also due to their nobility, had patronage over a chapel in the conventual church of San Francesco.
