Information

The Archaeological Museum boasts in its artistic patrimony the private collection, constituted during the 800, of Pasquale Rosario, researcher to which the first discoveries on the Hill of the Serpent are due.

The objects of this collection return to the visitor a cross section of millennial history identifiable with a period from the ninth century B.C. to the medieval age: Olle (terracotta containers), dippers and pitchers geometric decoration of the Daunian era, Greek ceramics of the V-III century B.C., necklaces and fibulae (brooches) in bronze of the Roman Ausculum.

Remarkable is the section entitled "Waste necessary", dedicated to the luxury in which women lived daune that includes finds found in the tombs of the Archaeological Park of Dauni and consisting of gold, silver and bronze jewels, glass cups for perfumes and balsams, amphorae and decorated ceramic vases. Along the way we find a statue of Apollo in archaic style (first half of the second century AD), the statue of the Child Hunter, the room of the mosaics of Villa Faragola.

The permanent exhibition "Policromie del sublime" concerns a group of polychrome marbles (second half of the 4th century B.C. ). Among the most surprising finds are a Podanipter (ritual basin for foot washing) with polychrome depictions and a Trapezophoros (support of a ritual canteen) depicting two griffins biting a fawn.

The Diocesan Museum contains a gallery of episcopal portraits and paintings of the eighteenth century depicting the Virgin, the Jesuit Saints and Mary Magdalene. Of particular value are a "Madonna and Child enthroned" dating from the thirteenth to the fourteenth century and a "Ecce Homo" attributed to Luca Giordano. Rich is also the collection of sacred furnishings in silver, such as that of sacred vestments in silk embroidered with gold threads.
