Historical notes
The museum was built in 1960, but the collection of objects of rural culture dates back to 1970. It finds place in the rural house where the seven Cervi brothers lived; these were arrested by the Nazi-Fascists November 25, 1943, (then shot December 28, 1943) because they began the Resistance movement in the Reggio Emilia area.
In the museum there are documents and photos tied to the historical episodes of the Cervi brothers, the Resistance movement and rural culture. There are also working tools belonging to a rural family of the first half of this century. Moreover, the museum promotes various meetings, exhibitions and cultural activities, hosts an Agriculture History Library and a Naive Art picture collection.
In the farm surrounding the house was recently realized an agro-environmental park with a guided route in the history of the territory and the relations among man and environment, agriculture and landscape.
