We loved our visit to Mulino ad Acqua. Each unique space gives you a great insight into the history of the area and how people lived there. Seeing the mill in action and operated the latest in many generations of millers who have worked there is really fascinating.

Museo del Papiro "Corrado Basile"

Reviewed By RodBush - Barwon Heads, Australia

This sounds a fairly banal reason to have a museum but it was really enjoyable and informative museum. It detailed the history, production and use of papyrus over the generations as well as efforts to redevelop the skills used to make papyrus sheets. Great displays, excellent video presentation and in a lovely building.

Our 5 year old just loved the guided help to try the machines. Lucia, the guide, was great and patient and soon understood what a small boy would enjoy most about the machines and principles. They give you a digital tablet to take around which explains everything in many languages, but the guides made something that could have been quite academic into something really fun. Our boy said that he would really miss Lucia and she was really great.
