Museum in the abandoned village of Roscigno Vecchia, with historic photographs and objects of rural life in a restored farmhouse.

In the village of Roscigno Vecchia, abandoned in the early 20th century because of the risk of landslides and now an open-air monument, the Museum of Peasant Life occupies some restored rooms of an old farmhouse and the former town hall. Its rooms gather historic photographs and many objects of rural life.We like discovering tools, utensils and images that tell of work in the fields and the daily life of those who lived in this village at the foot of the Alburni. We suggest combining the visit with a stroll around the large square with its fountain and the Church of San Nicola, to immerse yourself in an atmosphere truly suspended in time.
