The "Documentation Centre of the rural culture of the Casentino area" in Castel Focognano

The "Documentation Centre of the rural culture of the Casentino area" is located inside the Ronda Tower, being this latter a part of the ancient castle of Castel Focognano, destroyed by the siege operated by the troops of Guido Tarlati, Bishop of Arezzo.

The exhibit is divided into three sections that illustrate all the aspects of the agricultural and pastoral life in the Casentino area, mainly attentioning the manufacturing of the wool and the production of the milk: the wood and the earth, the sheep-farming and the wool.

Each section exposes a collection of tool that once were used to perform the rural and pastoral activities.
