In the old Sannia family house in Morcone, a civic museum with archaeological finds, historic archives, a library and contemporary art.

The Enrico Sannia Civic Museum occupies the historic home of the Sannia family, a building erected between the 16th and 18th centuries and bought by the municipality of Morcone in the second half of the 20th century. Today it brings together the municipal historic archive, the library and a collection of memorabilia and archaeological finds from the area, together with works by contemporary artists.The same building also houses the Achille Sannia museum dedicated to science and technology, with exhibits and workshops designed for schools. We really like being able to visit the house's old kitchen and the adjoining garden, where a small open-air theatre hosts shows and concerts in summer. We recommend including it in a stroll through Morcone's old town.
