The paintings are part of the collection of Giovan Battista Finocchiaro, became the City of Catania in 1826, thanks to increased wealth of churches, convents and the Museum of the Benedictines. A major contribution was made by the generous donations of the families Rapisardi, Gandolfo, Biscari, Myron and Zappala Asmundo. The Museum is instead opened in 1934, thanks to the donation of the private collection of the Prince of the Benedictine Fathers and Biscari.
