Fondazione Federico II Hohenstaufen
From collections of sacred art to Renaissance masterpieces,
right through to multimedia museums: in Jesi, history and culture come to life in unique settings.
The Fondazione Federico II Hohenstaufen Jesi Onlus is a non-profit organisation established in 1988 to promote the character and deeds of the great Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II who was born in this town of Le Marche.
Its statutory purposes include events to increase national and international tourism in the area.
It is listed among important bodies of Le Marche and the Ministry of Culture and it is mandatory to present a three-year programme every year, covering two semesters with specific themes chosen by the Centro Studi Federiciani and approved by the Scientific Committee made up of leading members of Medieval Studies.
Its activity mainly consists of organising meetings, conferences, round tables, exhibitions and other events (concerts, book presentations, full-cast readings of plays in schools and in service clubs) and of publishing the Tabulae, a six-monthly magazine.
Since May 2016 the Fondazione has been placed on the top floor of Palazzo Bisaccioni, in the space generously granted, free of charge, by the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Jesi, where it is possible to access the specialised library consisting of 5120 volumes, which are continually updated.
