Photo Historical Museum Dr. Eugenio Belfiore

Over 200 photographic works, which testify to the history of the small community of Montalbano

Carmelo Belfiore has cataloged a unique photographic archive consisting of the own works and a collection of photos that resulting from the conservation of photographic plates dating from the late nineteenth century, kept before him by his predecessors Floresta and Colonna.
Hundreds of glass sheets, faces, men and women, old people and children; Montalbano scenic views in all seasons, and studies of the beautiful Swabian-Aragon castle of Frederick II: pictures that mark eras, moods. A microcosm shows to document "as we were" and "as we are."
A job intact, pure, result of the passion of an entire family handed down from father Carmelo Belfiore to sons Nicola and Eugenio. At this last, who tragically died in 2000, has been named the museum.
