(excerpt from article "Piazza Duomo, the WOMB OF Lucerino, published Dec. 23 2002 "La Grande Province") The construction of the Bishop's palace was completed, designed by the Roman architect Mario Brunelli, in 1759. A great-looking building with a courtyard in a horseshoe. Decorated in the Baroque style, the palace is full of ornaments and a magnificent portal, equipped with a frieze coat and pastoral. The eighteenth-century Bishop's Palace, the seat Shepherd of the local church, the diocesan seminary and the offices of the Curia, located opposite the Cathedral. The historical diocese is on the second floor of the building. While the library of the diocese, treasure trove of ancient texts which reveal the history of the city, is located inside the seminary. On the initiative of the bishop, Monsignor Francesco Zerrillo in 1999 opened a diocesan museum of sacred art. The museum is located in the main wing of the building.
