| Museums:
Archeoclub D'Italia, Archeologico Etnografico The Etnografico Museum is in an historical building known as the "Casa del Capitanio", in Faeto. The museum houses artifacts such as farm implements, tools of the trades such as shoemakers, spinning wheels, old furniture, dishes and porcelain, and even an old Victrola . I think that Etnografico translates to Ethnography, the branch of archeology that deals with the scientific description of cultures. [The museums] founder and Faeto native, Vincenzo Rubino, authored the books I bought. |
