Museo di Rodoretto

About the museum

The museum was founded in summer 1973 on the initiative of teacher Elena Breusa Viglielmo and the residents, who gathered objects for the feast of the hamlet’s patron saint in the village’s former primary school. Teacher Enzo Tron made it a permanent venue and led visits for many years.

In 1981 the museum was expanded with three rooms on the upper floor, renovated with a contribution from the Region. Today it holds over one hundred objects and is part of the circuit of Waldensian museums. Its stated aim is to preserve the memory of rural and mountain life and make it known to visitors, especially schools.

The route, spread over three floors, is designed to recreate past living environments rather than simply display objects; the cowshed (stalla) is not yet open to the public because it is still being completed. A virtual visit is also available online.
