The museum houses the large collection of objects related to rural life collected by Ettore Guatelli, born in 1921 and who became an elementary school teacher in the early post-war years.
Interested in objects as a testimony to the history of Man, Ettore Guatelli was above all fascinated by the stories they carry with them and are able to tell.
