About the museum
The municipal museum is located in the historic centre of Savoca, in the San Michele district, near the churches of San Nicolò and Gesù e Maria. It occupies a building that rose after the demolition of Palazzo Trischitta in 1997, and has recently been renovated and expanded.
The route reconstructs typical rural dwellings and the farming world: agricultural tools and everyday objects, work cycles such as those of the baker and the woodcutter, presented on original wooden structures, and recordings of the songs once sung while working in the fields. One section illustrates local history from the Middle Ages, with manuscripts, portraits, costumes, maps and coats of arms, including the coat of arms of the archimandrite and the marble coats of arms on the tombs of the Trimarchi, Nicòtina and Cacòpardo families. Another section is dedicated to the notable families of Savoca. The museum also has a restoration workshop.
