The Battista’s Museum
The idea of creating a museum of old farm tools and enhancing it with the history of generations of the Polla family came from Battista.
One evening, he says, he had jokingly talked about it with his wife Rachele and from this joke the idea had taken real shape.
Battista has a creativity and a zest for getting things done that always succeeds in bringing meaningful things to life.
Handing down the traditions of a bygone era to the new generations is an enormous blessing that remains alive and well and, when you enter the "Museo de na bota" (Museum of a bygone era), it feels like going back in time to the rural life of our mountains, when everything was wholesome and the values of family, work and friendships were firmly rooted in people.
A glimpse of the past, a museum that is joyful and full of interesting facts.
A room full of light, a light that illuminates the past, as if it were the present, and projects us into another dimension that only a few have the courage to bring to life on a daily basis, not just in the museum but in real life.
