Medieval Castle in Molise Transforms into Contemporary Art Museum

On July 19, 2023, the Castello di Civitacampomarano, a fortress dating back to the 12th century located in Italy’s Molise region, was inaugurated as a modern art museum. This venture is part of a larger cultural initiative that includes the Museo Archeologico di Monteriggioni and the Museo della Ceramica in Nuoro. The project, backed by the Ministry of Culture's Piano per l'arte contemporanea, features an opening exhibition showcasing pieces by William Congdon, Gino Marotta, and Titina Maselli, organized by Pierangelo Izzo and curated by Susanne Meurer, Lorenzo Canova, and Piernicola Maria Di Iorio. Future collection development will be supported by the University of Molise. Mayor Paolo Manuele emphasized the museum's role in bridging historical and contemporary art, filling a void in Molise’s cultural landscape.
