About the museum
The Museo del Vecchio Torchio is in Genesco, a locality near Falmenta, in the Valle Cannobina, not far from the parish church. It occupies a building that, as an inscription on a beam shows, dates from before 1826.
Inside is an antique press that was once used to extract oil from walnuts. It consists of a large wooden press operated by a screw, which made it possible to squeeze the nuts, and bears witness to a traditional craft of the valley.
