This space, which collects rural work tools and utensils from the peasant house in Apella, invites you on a journey through time to discover the Lunigiana peasant civilization and its daily life between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, to preserve its memory. Retracing daily life, especially sharecropping, you will be able to learn more about the tools and traditions that shaped the rural world of the past.

The exhibition offers a unique opportunity to explore themes related to agriculture, old crafts, popular devotions and peasant cuisine, thanks also to the “Apellae widespread library” which collects volumes by local historians and texts dedicated to the peasant historical memory.

The main categories of tools and utensils present in the museum:

A) tools for working the land and crops,
B) tools for woodworking
C) tools for cheese production,
D) objects of domestic life
