Located to the left of the Duomo, in Via Paolo Rolli, the complex of the Monastery of the Lucrezie was born as a convent of the Franciscan tertiaries between the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th century at the behest of Lucrezia della Genga and some noble ladies of the city, determined to live according to Franciscan rules. In 1862, following the enactment of the law on the suppression of Ecclesiastical Bodies and Corporations, the monastery became part of the municipal patrimony and, in the course of time, it was used for various purposes: from the seat of the ancient Accademia dei Convivanti to a cinema hall, from a meeting place of the Opera Nazionale Dopolavoro Fascista to the laboratory of the classic furniture of the Gentili brothers. The complex develops around a cloister that overlooks the convent of Montesanto and the beautiful Tiber valley. Since 2009 the complex has housed the Lapidary Museum of the City of Todi, where sculptural finds from the Roman, Medieval, Renaissance and modern ages are on display, testifying to over twenty centuries of Tuderte history.
