Museo del Carcere "Le Nuove"

The museum exhibits Italian penal system history through preserved cells, corridors, and items from its operational period between 1869 and 1986.

The prison building, constructed between 1854 and 1869, housed inmates during significant periods including the anti-fascist resistance and post-war terrorism events.

The exhibits present documents, artifacts, and personal accounts that detail the evolution of Italian criminal justice and rehabilitation methods over multiple decades.

Guided tours operate Monday through Saturday at 15:00, with additional Sunday sessions at 15:00 and 17:00, requiring advance reservations for group visits.

The central chapel features an octagonal design with individual cubicles where prisoners participated in religious services while maintaining physical separation.
