Museo Civico Multimediale

Padula's Museo Civico Multimediale interprets the history of the Vallo di Diano from prehistory through the Risorgimento using interactive displays.

Why it matters

The museum presents local history through archaeology, landscape, civic life and the nineteenth-century upheavals that shaped southern Italy. Its multimedia approach offers a civic counterpart to the region's religious and architectural heritage.

What to notice

Talking drawers, screens and other interactive elements bring historical figures and themes into the exhibition. Sections address archaeology, the environment, brigandage and local civic identities, while an imagined trial centres on Carlo Pisacane and the 1857 Sapri expedition.

Context and history

The museum opened in Palazzo Brando in 2014, with a design by Fabrizio Mangoni. Its historical arc includes ancient settlements, the feudal period under the Sanseverino family, post-unification brigandage and the Risorgimento. The museum forms part of Padula's civic museum network.
