Witchcraft? Take it seriously. Popular beliefs – however unfounded – have played a key role in shaping the popular culture of the place. Learn how.

With as many as 400 exhibits in just 35 square meters, the Peio Witch Museum is one of the most curious and intriguing museums in the region. Dedicated to the theme of traditions and culture, both declined in the dimension of magic, this space deals with an ethnographic theme often underestimated and yet essential to understand in depth the history of a place. On the basis of completely similar initiatives carried out on the continent – in Europe there are six other museums dedicated to the same theme – the permanent exhibition paints many aspects of popular culture. Here you can find out how and how much the theme of witchcraft has been able to influence the agricultural-pastoral world, influencing the beliefs and hopes of the human soul. 

STRENGTH

A very original museum dedicated to a theme that is as underestimated as it is central to the local culture.
