The Pagani museum devoted to the tammorra drum and the feast of the Madonna delle Galline.

The museum tells the story of the feast of the Madonna del Carmelo, known as "delle Galline" (of the Hens), and the folk music that accompanies it, centred on the tammorra frame drum.According to tradition, in the 16th century some hens unearthed a panel bearing the image of the Madonna. The feast is held in the octave of Easter, when the faithful offer birds, sweets and tortani, and the statue parades in procession on a cart.
