“The Municipal Art Gallery ‘P. Finoglio’ is located in the Castle of Conversano, former residence of the Acquaviva of Aragon Counts. It is situated in the premises of the Old Gallery of the Acquaviva counts, built between the late 15th century and early 16th century and restored in December 1999. The restoration allowed an effective reading of the architectural space in its original characteristics and the recovery of interesting sculptures embedded in the masonry under the lunette arches. The beautiful carved corbels, chronologically attributed to the early decades of the 16th century, show a typically classicist taste and closely recall the decorative apparatus of the illuminated manuscripts of Count Andrea Matteo Acquaviva (1481-1528). The premises of the Art Gallery include an antechamber, a representation hall, and a small room.”
