Dressing room outside the walls. "Perspectives of art from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century" is the exhibition currently set up at Palazzo Castelli in Camerino.
The works were recovered from churches and museums after the earthquake of 2016 and for the first time since then masterpieces are visible such as the Annunciation by Angelo d'Antonio and the precious eighteenth-century altarpiece by Tiepolo, the Vision of San Filippo Neri with the Madonna and child.
