Culture

The Museum of Traditions and Human Activities is the beating heart of this offering with artifacts and collections that narrate the daily life of past centuries through practices of olive growing, viticulture, wheat cultivation, weaving, tailoring and housework.

In the Convent of the Friars Minor or Riformati a multifunctional cultural dimension is available to visitors through the museum collection that highlights the historical richness of the Pulsano area through materials from the protohistoric, Greek and Roman periods, with special attention to the Roman villa of Luogovivo and the settlement of Torre Castelluccia.

The Municipal Library, named after Pietro Mandrillo and located in the same convent, contributes to the cultural offerings with a heritage of about 20,000 documents, ranging from pre-unification 19th-century publications to ancient volumes and rare pre-1945 editions. The Special Funds section and the newspaper library further enrich the cultural experience, with a focus on promoting reading among young people.
