A 16th-century palace in Bagnoli Irpino linked to fabric dyeing, now a cultural space with the municipal picture gallery.

The name of this 16th-century palace reveals its history: the "tenta" was dyeing, and the building was built to house textile workshops linked to silkworm rearing, once a thriving activity in Bagnoli. It later became the town hall, accompanying the public life of the village for centuries.Today the palace is a lively place devoted to culture and houses the municipal picture gallery, with works by Michele Lenzi and Achille Martelli. We suggest including it in a walk through the historic centre, perhaps together with the mother church and the castle. We love the idea that an old craft workplace has become a home for art and for the community.
