School-home with garden, built in the nineteenth century. The building, comprised of two floors, has been restored keeping its original structure. The environment has been carefully recreated with great detail with the help of a great variety of donated and lent objects. The ground floor includes the kitchen, the dining room, and the classroom, with benches, blackboard, map, books and other teaching implements from that period. The upper floor displays the rooms belonging to the teacher and his family, which were inhabited until 1945. Of particular interest, in the outer walls, are the pictorial decorations of military themes, dated between 1840 and 1860.
