This is an incredible story. Casa Vestita is not a museum but a private place. The owner bought the house and with the time, during restorations, found a trove of treasures which now he shares with people, not for money (2Eur for person...) but for the pleasure to share. He found in his garden a floor from the greek time, 2400 years ago, he found a templar chapel which has been hidden when templars were outlawn by the french Emperor and by the Pope. He found coins, pots, crosses, paintings... The owner offers an incredible knowledge about art and history and he is genuinely interested in sharing his story, his knowledge and his experience. His culture is really vast and he can talk about art from ancient Greece to middle age. We went 2 times in 1 year and every time we found ourselves engaged in passionate discussions. The owner has the power to transmit his passion, his culture and to engage in personal anectodes, creating a bond with people. The owner does not speak fluent English (though i think he may understand some), so you need either to speak Italian or to bring a translator (better if knwoledgeable in art & history to pair the owners' vast knowledge) Just remember: this is not a museum, but a private house which the owner can decide or not to share with you, so asking for permission to visit, during his working time (as owner of one of Grottaglie pottery laboratories), is needed.

Dressed home, it is located in Grottaglie (Taranto), in the heart of the picturesque District of Ceramics in via Crispi 63 / a. The site is open to the community to accommodate temporary exhibitions dedicated to the culture clay grottagliese. Inside it preserves a medieval cave church recently discovered, exceptional artistic testimony dating back to the thirteenth century. Visited during the temporary exhibitions or by appointment.
