The Palmento and Midolo's oil mill Museum

Olives and vinegrapes cultivation has always featured our region. The Oil-mill Museum was built at the end of the XIX century in a ground called Ciusa Miloro, just out of the centre and near the station inaugurated in 1886. Called "u trappitu", after being abandoned was later acquied and restored by Municipality and opened on 30th October 2010. The building, of great etno-anthropological value, is equipped with "a cannizzu" winepress and a large stone tanks where grapes are squeezed. "A macina" was an animal towed millstone used to crush olives. The obtained pulp, put in big olives baskets called "coffe", were later collected in the near millstone "u conzu" to be squeezed. The objects furnishing the building have been acquiring by contribution or purchasing. The museum's aim was to convey the old crafts to people saving a huge trace of material culture.
