The Civic Gallery of Art

Opened in 2011, the Gallery is housed in what were the cells of the cloistered nuns of the Carmelite convent, a place of prayers and meditation so dear to St.Gerard Maiella and St.Alphonsus dei Liguori

Thanks to the work of one of our fellow citizen and artist, Vito Miroballi, in these environments that best express the fertile place of spiritual culture that was the town, an outpost has emerged that is well representative of the three fundamental forms of artistic representation, the imitative, informative and decorative, which develops along the path of humanity, from prehistory to the present

In this picture the vivacity of the colors is mixed with the sensuality of forms and objects
