The neoclassical mansion and the large estate, known as Villa Pignatelli, now Diego Aragona Pignatelli Cortes Museum, were built in 1826. The first floor is ideal for cultural events and exhibitions and houses the permanent exhibition of Banco di Napoli's art collections. A library with more than 2000 books, 4000 opera and classic music records and the Museum of Carriages dedicated to Marchese Mari D'Alessandro di Civitanova (closed at the moment) are among the attractions of the place.
