Open in Google Maps 

A series of four historical talks to rediscover the civic identity of Cerignola between the 19th and 20th centuries, led by Professor Lucio Cioffi. Each meeting addresses an aspect of the social, economic and architectural transformations that shaped the city: from the expansion of the 'Terra Vecchia' to the shift from livestock farming to cereal agriculture, from the rise of new social figures to major public works such as the new cathedral, the Tonti legacy and the theatre. The series is organized by the Pro Loco Cerignola. The meetings are held in the Conference Room of the Polo Museale, on the first floor of Palazzo Fornari, starting at 6:00 PM. Admission is free.
