One of the most beautiful of Italy's small museums, as the Daily Telegraph called it.
Palazzo Corboli is not a 'simple' museum in the most classic sense of the term: from Sacred Art to the Archaeological Section, it is the building itself that is the first, true, work of art. Fundamental for the architectural and urban value, for the priceless frescoes, for the contribution that Palazzo Corboli gives in reconstructing the role of Asciano in the economic history of the Sienese medieval countryside.
The medieval Palazzo Corboli belonged to the noble Sienese Bandinelli family whose coats of arms recur in the pictorial decoration of the building, where the two cycles of fourteenth-century allegorical frescoes of the Sala di Aristotele and the Sala delle Stagioni, attributed to Cristoforo di Bindoccio and Meo di Pero, stand out .

Open-air museum remained intact by virtue of its inhospitality and the impossibility of being cultivated, this area is surrounded by clay hills and wide hilly hills with shades that vary between gray and green, yellow and Brown. By virtue of its clayey and sandy composition it is a bare area of vegetation which, through a centuries-old process of soil erosion, has given rise to deep inlets or scars, called "calanchi", and to numerous reliefs on which sodium sulphate has settled , called "biancane", on which vegetation is absent and which resemble mountain peaks. This part of the Sienese countryside tells of the presence of an ancient sea that has disappeared for millennia.

The Abbey is still inhabited by the Olivetan monks, and it is possible to visit the marvelous church, the great cloister with the famous frescoed cycle with the stories of Saint Benedict (XV-XVI century, started by Luca Signorelli and completed by Antonio Bazzi called the Sodoma), the precious pharmacy, the rich library, the refectory and a surprising, small museum.
Inside this museum there are some important works of art, some '700 watercolors with views of the Abbey, and also a canvas given to the monks by the artist Luigi Mussini, teacher of Amos Cassioli.
During some liturgies (Conventual Mass, Vespers, Compline and partly at Lodi), it is possible to hear the ancient Gregorian chants, traditionally attributed precisely to Pope St. Gregory the Great (540-604) still in use by the Olivetan monks.
