Il Mulino
Museum | Basaluzzo | Piemonte | Italy
The "Il Mulino" in Basaluzzo, Piedmont, is a historic water mill building that now serves as a cultural center. Originally built in the 19th century, it was restored in the year 2000 and made accessible to the public. The mill now houses the "Museum of Ancient Crafts" and the "Tamburello Museum", dedicated to a traditional ball game that is very popular in the region.
The "Museum of Ancient Crafts" showcases a collection of tools and artifacts documenting rural life and craftsmanship from past times. Visitors can gain insights into the working methods and living conditions of people in the region.
The "Tamburello Museum" focuses on the sport of the same name, which has a long tradition in Basaluzzo and its surroundings. It presents the history of the game, the evolution of equipment, and the significance of Tamburello for the local community.
In addition to the permanent exhibitions, "Il Mulino" regularly hosts cultural events and temporary exhibitions that enrich the cultural life of the region. For example, in October 2022, an exhibition by Bruno Zama was shown, presenting tools and war relics that have been integrated into everyday life since 1914.
"Il Mulino" is therefore a significant cultural center in Basaluzzo that preserves the history of the region and promotes current cultural activities.
