Ettore Guatelli, a local elementary school teacher, collected all the objects of the day-to-day life with the aim to preserve in our memories all things we tend not to use anymore.
Among the many definitions used to describe his collection, Guatelli often resorted to the "museum of the obvious things" or "museum of everyday life".
Toys, kitchen wares, musical instruments, thousands of tins, clocks and much more, cover the walls following simple geometric patterns, fill the shelves of the museum, creating a spectacular visual glance full of suggestions, that can evoke realistic daily routine of country life.
More than 60.000 artifacts are recovered in the museum: items are not rare or valuable, but things of common use, which still retain the imprint of those who, using them daily, have worn them, till becoming part of themselves.
