Leonessa. Civic Museum and Exhibitions of Modern Art

The cloister of Saint Francis in Leonessa is one of the social and cultural centres of the village. Under its porticos is a section devoted to the testimonies from the lives of the people of the high plateau of Leonessa: agricultural tools and testimonies of the life of the past.

The portico of the Monastery of St Francis is enriched with frescoes that tell the life of St. Francis, while the marble columns have different sculptures and styles. This setting is ideal for modern art and the cloister hosts exhibitions of local and established artists as well as a season of concerts in the summer.
