Historic Ethnographical Museum in Bruscoli
Objects, artefacts and tools that document the area’s rural culture
The Historical Ethnographical Museum is located in an ex-elementary school in the commune of Firenzuola. It was built with the aim of conserving the historic local roots of the area and to make them known to young people and visitors.
The museum is divided into three sections. They contain geo-archaeological and paleontological artefacts from the rural, artisanal tradition as well as items from the Second World War that are related to the ‘Gothic Line’ that passed through the nearby mountains
The geo-archaeological remains come from digs that were carried out along an ancient road which was probably of Roman origin and from among the ruins of a medieval castle which once belonged to the Alberti counts. Other materials were donated by private sources.
