Ancient entrance
The monumental entrance to the museum complex was designed by Augusto Corbi in 1895; this space was originally an integral part of the Church of the Most Holy Annunciation. The following year, based on Corbi's design, the new door of the Church was opened. The atrium space was progressively adapted to hospital needs, becoming a porter’s lodge and ambulance docking point for the nearby emergency room, then located in the adjacent Chapel of the Mantle. The walls now preserve some important tomb slabs of rectors, once located inside the church, a fragment of a 14th-century fresco, the marble bust of Angelo Galli Tassi, benefactor of the hospital (1873), a plaque commemorating Umberto I’s visit in 1887, and one celebrating the hospital’s donors.
