Museum of Culture and Work

A journey to discover traditional clothes; a fascinating reference point for the story and traditions of the Mamoiada area. In a Museum dedicated to Culture and Work, these are the pretext for observing the transformations of a society that has only recently begun to change concretely, without distorting its original self.

It is the moments of celebration and mourning that mark the essence of community life in Mamoiada, and the clothing representative of both – and their reasons for being – contain all the paradigms of meaning through which Mamoiada can be observed and understood.

The visit, from the main room dedicated to Mamoiada’s work activities, then winds through the thematic rooms that tell a still true life up to the middle of the last century.
