Basilio Cascella Civic Museum
About This Museum
You'd never guess this place was once a massive ceramics factory, but that's the secret history of the Basilio Cascella Museum. It feels more like stepping into the artist's personal world than a sterile gallery, packed with everything from his bold, turn-of-the-century posters to intimate family portraits. The airy rooms are filled with light, making his vibrant colors and dreamy landscapes just pop. It’s a wonderfully immersive look at an entire creative dynasty, all under one roof.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss his powerful 'Michele Schiavone' lithograph series and the delicate, hand-painted ceramics from when the building was his workshop. The collection also beautifully traces the artistic legacy through his sons, Tommaso and Michele.
Visitor Information
It's easy to find right on Viale Marconi in Pescara – you can't miss the distinctive building. Perfect for a quiet afternoon away from the beach crowds.
Architecture & Building
Housed in its original early 20th-century building that once functioned as Cascella's own art nouveau-inspired printing house and ceramics factory, giving it a unique industrial-artistic vibe.
