In the week of European Heritage Day, our children visited the museum in the castle of Conversano and admired the masterpieces by Paolo Domenico Finoglio (c. 1590 – 1645), an Italian painter of the early-Baroque period, active mainly in South Italy, including Naples and towns in Apulia region.
In the castle there is the decorative series of ten large canvases on episodes of Torquato Tasso's epic Gerusalemme Liberata (Jerusalem Delivered). The series was commissioned for the family castle starting in 1634 by the count of Conversano, Giangirolamo II Acquaviva d'Aragona.
