The Civic Museum of Bari was founded in 1913 to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the creation of the "Murat District". On this occasion the Civic Administration organized and set up the "Historical Exhibition of the 19th century", which was also promoted by some important scholars of Bari. One of the most valuable goods in the museum collection is the cradle of the Marquis of Montrone, a precious carved wooden artefact, decorated with silver leaf apllications dating back the the second half of the 18th century. The first printed book in Bari, by th French typographer Gilberto Nehou, goes back, instead, to the 15th of October 1535. The author under the pseudonym Parthenopeo Suavio is Nicola Antonio Carmignano, a gentleman from Napoli at the service of Isabella d'Aragona and her daughter Bona Sforza. The Civic Museum presents itself to the city as a dynamic cultural incubator, which is able to welcome numerous events, thus becoming a culturally vibrant place for local citizens, a reference point for reconstructing Bari's history and memory.
