The Charcuterie Museum, a valuable exhibition of the ancient art of charcuterie making
Named after 'Davide Dedomenici 1909', the museum consists of three rooms in which a large part of the equipment used by the Casanova Staffora delicatessen since as far back as 1799 is collected. They range from traditional tools, pepper mills, salt mincers, knives and hammers used to prepare meat for salami, to bagging machines, meat mincers and antique scales.
The first room displays old documents, photos and posters, while the second houses a reconstruction of a 1930s-style shop. Finally, in the third room, you can admire the cellar with the cold cuts, tools and machinery used by the sausage makers.
A journey through the history and secrets of the charcuterie technique to learn about the craft and manual gestures of a craft that has its roots in the Longobard era.
