Lagravinese palace
The Palazzo Lagravinese located in the heart of the historic center of Cisternino is considered the most representative building for the local community, it has been the subject of a careful recovery for the particular intrinsic value it represents. Recognized as a work of historical-artistic interest, it has been restored and refurbished to be used as a museum for exhibitions and exhibitions.
Noble noble residence of the late eighteenth century, on the border with the ancient medieval Borgo Cistranese, on two levels with a loggia and two coats of arms with cartouche, one with the date of construction and one with decorations clearly attributable to the Masonic symbolism.
Belonged to the Lagravinese – Termetrio families, it presents next to the entrance portal, a commemorative plaque of Lagravinese Maria and Rita, poetesses and culinary art experts, and Nicola and Pasquale, international founding fathers and professionals: the surgeon Nicola above all, doctor of Savoy and D’Annunzio.
