Contemporaray Art Museum of San Rocco, housed in the former convent of the same name, is an important museum for contemporary art. The building, abandoned for more than 30 years, was reopened in 2012 as a cultural centre and museum. Its history dates back to the second half of the 16th century with the arrival of Franciscan friars during a plague epidemic. After the Unification of Italy, it housed the provincial post office and, later, various public offices and schools. Following careful restoration, the original sacred structure was brought back to light.
