“Enter and worship”: this was Basilio Cascella’s greeting to visitors of his chromolithographic factory, now the Cascella Museum.
This room holds the heart of Basilio’s lithographic production. Admire the star press, an essential hand-operated printing tool, the stone printing plates, and the famous illustrated postcards published in the magazine Illustrazione Abruzzese.

Immerse yourself in the rural landscapes of Abruzzo through the stunning ceramics produced in the Cascella factory, active for a short period in the village of Rapino.
Of Basilio’s children, Gioacchino fell most in love with this technique. Discover the charm of these hand-painted majolica pieces.

Set off on a journey through the landscapes of Italy, from Portofino to Milan, to Paris and New York. These are the works of Michele Cascella, Basilio’s son, who has gone as far as the ocean to bring his fascinating art.

Pietro and Andrea Cascella became renowned for their sculptural work. In this room, you can see sketches, drafts, and paintings that reveal their exceptional mastery of drawing, a foundation for their later artistic expressions.

Among many sketches and studies on paper, Tommaso Cascella’s military-themed drawings stand out. He witnessed the war firsthand, having been sent to the French front in 1914, where he risked his life.

Basilio Cascella created seven large majolica panels for the Tettuccio Spa in Montecatini Terme. Here, you can admire parts of the preparatory cartoons for these stunning works, which feature allegorical figures such as Beauty, the Spring, and Maturity.

This is the largest room in the museum, built after the workshop was donated to the Municipality of Pescara.
Here you will find some of the most iconic works that tell the story of the Cascella family’s extraordinary artistic legacy: Il bagno della Pastora (The Shepherdess’s Bath) by Basilio, Tommaso’s series on the Abruzzo region, and the sculptures The Black Knight by Andrea and The Verdict by Pietro.
