On the ground floor of the Country House, the part where the rustic style still dominates, having been used in the past as a store room for the farm, and for its characteristic architecture, can be found a small museum of rural history.
It consists of all the objects conserved or forgotten in the different parts of the House and that been grouped together in a collection showing materials and their time periods.

Many objects have been donated to the museum, in rememberance, by old people or nobility and others, who have no longer any use. To remember the things, which have now been taken over by progress, were once the way of life, recent history of a world which now seems a long time away.

We can admire utensils from the kitchen and the home, instruments from the canteen, the machinery for working in the fields, from the usual to specialised tools of the carpenter, blacksmith and farrier, in other words lots of curious objects like the "barcocchio", the washing list made of wood or the cupboard where cheese was grated !!
