The Museum of the Scriptures of Bassiano is located inside Palazzo Cajetani and tells of the different forms of written communication from many countries and that often appear cryptic to people. Cajetani was one of the most important family of the middle age and Pope Bonifacio VIII (the Pope of the Spal of Anagni) was a Cajetani.
The museum emphasizes technological revolutions in the forms of communication and the evolution of the relationship between written and oral communication. A section is dedicated to the marginal local writings of shepherds and to the graffiti that becomes art.
The museum is dedicated to the famous publisher and printer Aldo Manuzio, born in Bassiano in 1449 and who died in Venice in 1515, inventor of the 'aldini' print characters that are on display.
A part of the museum is dedicated to a significant amount of charcoal drawings made in the eighteenth century by the detainees locked up in the building.
