is an organization which mainly serves as library and museum and it is located in Altamura, Italy.

[3] The library stores valuable books and archeological finds, such as the cofanetto limosino, the tonograph and both ancient and modern art paintings.

Indro Montanelli also mentioned it in his book Dante Alighieri (booklet number 4 of series "I Protagonisti", published and sold in 1993 together with Italian newspaper Il Giornale).

[1] The idea of creating an association for the conservation of Altamura's cultural heritage came from count Celio Sabini, who, in a letter written on 6 September 1946 to the director of Biblioteca Comunale prof. Francesco Lospalluto, expressed his wish to create a non-profit organization.

The organization officially started on 19 October 1949 with the signing of the founding documents in front of notary Ferdinando Schifini.
