Museo del Pane Rituale

About the museum

The Museo del Pane Rituale in Borore preserves and presents the food traditions of the village, in particular the breads linked to festivals, weddings and life events. According to the regional listing, it opened to the public in June 2006 and has since been renovated.

The route is organised into four areas: “Saperi ed esperienze” (Knowledge and Experience), devoted to bread-making techniques and traditions, with hands-on activities; “Comunità e Territorio” (Community and Territory), with routes to the village’s places of interest; “Passato e presente” (Past and Present), on rural memory, with a traditional Borore farm cart; and “Ritorno al futuro” (Back to the Future), with workshops and meetings on sustainable development, new agricultural technologies and food education. Two small indoor gardens house a ceramic work by Carmine Piras and an original millstone, sa mola.

The collection includes more than three hundred examples of ritual bread for the feasts of patron saints, weddings, funerals, baptisms and harvests, in cross, heart, rose, dove and ear-of-wheat shapes. It also recalls the ancient wine production of Borore.
