Opened in July 1986, the Museum is the result of over thirty years searching and collecting by Gualberto Ricci Curbastro, owner of the company, and now exhibits a rich collection of the tools used in the past by peasant farmers to cultivate the fields and vineyards, equipment to produce wine, and utensils needed in their domestic life.

Continuously added to by the Ricci Curbastro family, the Museum now exhibits more than three thousand pieces in four rooms divided according to a theme. The vine, wine, and barrel-building, (including a rich collection of presses and old corking devices in a part of the cellar). Farming equipment, carts, instruments used in veterinary surgery and for animal care are housed appropriately in the old stables. The hay-loft is the place for household chores: the kitchen, spinning, and crafts such as shoe-making and wrought-iron works.

In a fourth room, used also for exhibitions and conferences, glass showcases illustrate many fields of farm activity; childrens games, instruments for measuring and the analysis of wine, grazing, dairy activities, silkworm husbandry, and spinning.

The library boasts more than a thousand texts on our agricultural history.
