The private La Taverna dell’Aquila Museum houses a very wide range of objects illustrating a social, economic and cultural cross-section of our city between the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries.
The dense display includes the doctor’s corner, the shoemaker’s, blacksmith’s and barber’s store.
One section is devoted to peasant life and one to domestic work.
Noteworthy is the collection of minerals and fossils from around the world.
Old notebooks tell the thoughts and typical days of our grandparents and great-grandparents.
A collection of school books, registers, report cards and three school desks, the oldest dating back to the late 1800s, make one imagine the many teachers and hundreds of students who crowded our Su Cantaru elementary school grappling with inkwells and nibs.
