The Ethnographic Museum of Schilpario;born to restore to the people from a historical and cultural heritage essential to the preservation of historical memory;will highlight the tools and objects of daily life;putting them in socio-economic context in which they were produced and used.The objects;documents;photographs;oral testimonies presented here illustrate the arduous and painstaking work that the structural and environmental conditions have forced the inhabitants of the Valley of Scalve:the stone placed at the beginning of the exhibition;furrowed by deep passage of the sleds loaded with minerals that "Strusì" transported to the valley bottom;is a prime example.The museum is not;therefore;the container for a collection of objects coated by time;but overall a path that represents the essential characteristics of society and economy of the Valley;captured through the material culture.
