The Bagnaresi Ethnic Museum is located at the headquarters of the Carifano Foundation in the Malatesta Palace. This is an ethnic museum of an international kind established thanks to Mrs. Maria Teresa Bagnaresi’s donation of a valuable and unique collection of art, crafts and multi-ethnic interest collected over more than forty years of travels to all five continents documenting a very wide range of cultures deeply connected to traditions, territory and life.
The exhibition consists of the most diverse products of indigenous master craftsmen belonging mainly to the Far East and Africa, although there are also elements from Australia, the Americas and Europe. A total of more than 2,600 objects including masks, cribs, statues, boxes, ivories, Chinese porcelain, lacquerware, cutting weapons, stone objects, jewelry, silverware, bronze and copper objects, sticks, saucers, baskets, panniers, etc., are on display.
