TOWN HALL (see picture)
Palazzo Frenfanelli today: built in the XVI century, it was bought in 1706 from the noble Frenfanelli family, originally from the homonymous Castle Frenfano, by the Town Council who added the bell-tower in 1741.
MUNICIPAL LIBRARY "TRANQUILLO GRAZIANI"
Founded in 1976, it contains 5350 volumes including 37 manuscripts, 40 incunabula restored in 1959 and numerous cinquentine. The first nucleus of the library was created thanks to the legacy of Graziani, at the end of the XVII century. Belonging to an old family from Cascia, he was and auditor in Rome for Cardinal Astalli and it was this position that allowed him the possibility to begin a rich collection of all the legal volumes published from the XVI to the XVII century. In 1732 Clement VII acknowledged the library and granted the Town Council, who in the meanwhile had bought it from the Scolopi, legatees of Graziani, the honour of a librarian and the excommunication for those who damaged or removed books or paper from the library. The suppression of the Religious Bodies enriched the municipal library of Cascia with a patrimony of books from the monasteries of St. Agostino, St. Francesco and from the Capuchin friars.
