Ferrara
Centro documentazione mondo agricolo (Rural World Documentation Centre)
The centre documents rural work and life from the late 19th to the mid-20th century. One section is dedicated to farming implements, and includes rare pieces from abroad. Very interesting are the documents relating to land reclamation, fruit growing and the itinerant trading activities associated with the farming world. A second section presents the home and activities of the rural village – the inns, old shops, artisan workshops, church, school. The museum boasts a wonderful collection of puppets.

Comacchio
Manifattura dei Marinati (Marinade Manufacture)
The great eel marinating factory is a piece of history of the Po Delta. Following careful restoration, it has been returned to its original splendour: the Fire Room, with its twelve operating fireplaces, the ancient buildings, the boats, the barrels and the smells. A Museum that is more than a place to visit, and represents a symbol for better understanding the identity and culture of this land.

A dynamic and open museum that stretches beyond walls and exhibits.
