The Civic Museum of Villa Amendola is located in Avellino, in Via dei Due Principati, along the road that connects the historic center of the capital of Irpinia to the Rione Mazzini and San Tommaso districts. This marvelous structure, dating back to the eighteenth century and equipped with a large botanical garden, embraces three centuries of history, handing down to us the precious testimony of an ancient private residence, trace and memory of the villas built during the Caracciolo government. The events of Villa Amendola unfold against the background of the Avellino historical context, intertwining the lives of the Pelosi, Orto, Farina and Amendola families who, for many years, have shaped its environments. Today the Civic Museum of Villa Amendola contains the memories of the alternation of private and public moments, family stories that blend with the cultural and social history of Avellino, in a single and evocative journey. The structure also houses the "Nunzia Festa" Municipal Library, a public reading room, equipped with internet stations, which boasts a heritage of around 5,000 titles. Important cultural center of the city, enhanced by the biodiversity of its park, Villa Amendola is the place where history and nature mix, to create a perfect symbiosis. read less
