The exhibition is divided into three rooms, the largest of which gives prestige to the works of 3 Lucerne artists: Giuseppe Ar, Emanuele Cavalli and Umberto Onorato.
Giuseppe Ar (1898-1956) exhibited watercolors and oils on canvas donated by his wife, Concetta Testa, to the Municipality. His pictorial production focuses on landscapes of Lucera and surroundings, still lifes, preparatory sketches, domestic scenes and portraits.
By Emanuele Cavalli (1904-1981) are exposed a domestic scene and two still lifes.
Umberto Onorato (1898-1967) was a costume designer, set designer, cartoonist and caricaturist, very close to the artistic environments of the 50s and 60s of the capital.
