Museum of rural life in a building from 1822, with farm tools and a section on equestrian traditions.

In a building dating from 1822, the Museum of the Horse and Popular Traditions displays the original tools used by farmers in the fields and in everyday life. We like how utensils and objects from country homes help us imagine the customs of the past.The tour tells the story of the bread cycle, the pig slaughter with its accompanying rituals, and the world of horsemanship between Naples and Salerno, with a detailed description of harnesses, carriages and traditions linked to the horse. We recommend visiting above all with children, to let them discover rural life.
