Description
The Museum is located in the residence once belonged to the family of Liborio Romano (1793 - 1867) and the institutional museum is named right to the famous patriot and jurist born in Patù and buried in the chapel in front of the building.
Palazzo Romano, partly acquired by the City of Patù, was restored in 2009. On that occasion, equipped itineraries were started in the archaeological area of the hill of Vereto and, in particular, near the Church of Our Lady of Vereto and in the local road Uschia Pagliare, where several excavations were carried out.
Studies have shown that the ancient city of Vereto was destroyed by the Saracens in the ninth century AD. On the ruins of the old messapic centre then arose the agglomeration of housing of Patù, which according to the tradition was founded in 924 by some survivors from Vereto.
In the museum you can see some objects belonging to the patriot Liborio Romano, who, after taking part in the riots of 1820 and 1848, was amongst the major proponents of the passage of the South from the Borboni to the Savoia, to become finally Deputy and Minister of the Kingdom of Italy.
Some exhibitions are also set up such as "Archaeology in Palazzo Romano: History meets the city of Patù, route along the messapic age, Roman and medieval.
Guided and educational tours, aimed at different audiences, are also being organized.
