The home of canon Marciano De Leo, now Frigento's house of culture with a library, a museum and an art collection.

In Frigento's historic centre stands Palazzo De Leo, birthplace of the canon and writer Marciano De Leo (1751-1819), a poet and theologian whose thought has been compared to Leopardi's La Ginestra. The palazzo stands at the top of the hill, next to other noble residences restored after the 1980 earthquake.Today it is the village's House of Culture: it houses the civic library, founded in 1955, the Pina Famiglietti art collection and the civic archaeological museum. We suggest taking your time over a visit, because in these rooms, in just a few steps, you pass through Roman history, 18th-century literary memory and contemporary art.
