The Permanent Exhibition of Peasant Culture and Civilization, often referred to as the Museum of Peasant Civilization, was set up by the Social Cooperative C.I.D.I.S, which manages home care services for the elderly, in two large rooms on the ground floor of Palazzo Pignatelli, which is currently the town hall.
The exhibition activity falls within the socio-cultural aims undertaken by the same Social Cooperative and is part of a broader project of memory recovery and cultural animation. The permanent exhibition, open since 1994, displays objects from the territory of Lavello related to the cereal cycle and traditional peasant housing. Among approximately 255 pieces, you can find furnishings and objects of domestic life and peasant work, agricultural equipment, costumes, and photographs.
