Museo Faggiano in Lecce, Italy, offers visitors an intriguing journey through layers of history. Originally a private residence, the museum came into being when the owner, Luciano Faggiano, discovered ancient artifacts while renovating his property. The museum showcases a variety of archaeological finds spanning over 2,500 years, including Roman and medieval artifacts.
Visitors appreciate the authentic and unpolished nature of the site, which allows them to witness the excavation process firsthand. The museum's layout, spread across multiple levels, provides an engaging exploration of Lecce's rich past. Many find the personal guided tours by the Faggiano family members to be informative and passionate.
However, some visitors note that the museum is relatively small and can be explored in about an hour. The lack of extensive information panels in multiple languages can be a drawback for non-Italian speakers, though this is somewhat mitigated by the guided tours.
While not as grand or extensive as some larger museums, Museo Faggiano offers a unique look at the layered history of Lecce. Its intimate setting and personal connection to the family who discovered it add to its charm. The museum is particularly appealing to those interested in archaeology and local history.
