In the hamlet of Partignano, Palazzo Santagata houses over 120 objects telling the story of farming and craft life in Pignataro Maggiore.

In the hamlet of Partignano, inside Palazzo Santagata, the Museum of Peasant and Craft Life holds more than a hundred and twenty pieces that tell of daily life, work and the rural world of Pignataro Maggiore from the 18th century to the present day. It is a small museum that speaks simply of the town's memory.Among the household objects we find spindles, looms and steam and gas irons, while the trades section displays the tools of the coppersmith, saddler, printer and farmer, including old wooden ploughs. We like recommending it to families: it is a tangible way to show younger people how people lived and worked in the Caserta countryside.
