All works on exhibition have been restored by the Superintendence. Palazzo Lanfranchi hosts major art shows on a regular basis making it an importan location for events in Matera, Italy. Next to the small church of Madonna del Carmine, the Palazzo Lanfranchi, also in baroque style, is home to important art exhibitions. Ex-seminary, it became a secondary school where the famous poet Giovanni Pascoli taught for a couple of years. Recently renovated, Palazzo Lanfranchi is now home to the Museum of Medieval and Modern Art of Basilicata, with an interesting collection of paintings by Carlo Levi, various works from the school of Naples.. Here, international exhibitions take place periodically. A greater understanding of the origins of the city of Matera can be gleaned by visiting the Domenico Ridola National Museum. The museum was established in 1911 and bears the name of one of the most distinguished citizens of the city.
