The Cathedral Collections Managed by the Fabbriceria—the institute responsible for the administration and conservation of the Cathedral’s patrimony—the Raccolte della Cattedrale di Todi are hosted in the crypt of the edifice. These are marble slabs from spoliation, remnants of the Roman period and Early Middle Age. Among them there are some funerary stones, tombstone fragments, and the coat of arms of nobles and bishops. The Room of the Treasure, where the old sacristy was, includes liturgical vestments and sacred items associated with the history of the Cathedral. The display path offers the opportunity to observe up close the Umbrian school Crucifix, which is on top of the main altar and dates from the mid 12th century, and the small chapel, decorated with frescoes of Ferraù Faenzoni, that Angelo Cesi, a Bishop at the time, had built between 1605 and 1606.
