Museum of the Art of the past

The museum consists of a basement, a covered balcony and four interior spaces.
It houses hundreds of objects, personal effects and tools of all kinds, the fruit of donations from the inhabitants of the village and neighbouring villages.
The objects on display are tools and artefacts along with period documents, heirlooms, work and party clothes and an assortment of linens, including nightshirts, pure silk stockings, elegant hats, suitcases and walking umbrellas finished in ivory.

There are also perfectly functioning agricultural implements such as hand-drawn sowing machines used at the end of the 19th century for sowing wheat, rudimentary lawnmowers and grubbing harrows that moved the soil to remove weeds, buckets with pulleys to draw water from the well, a water wheel in very good condition with wooden spokes used to irrigate the fields, some housewives, forerunners of modern washing machines, 'pruette' or wheelbarrows used to move building materials.


opening hours: 16:00 / 19:00 or on request by writing to museoartepassato@gmail.com
