Museo Mulino Sapignoli
An old mill, the millstones, the transformation of water power: in this museum, science, identity and work come together in fascinating ways.
The Museo Mulino Sapignoli is a mill where visitors can see up close the old machines used to grind grain (the millstones) and the network of mills of the Valmarecchia. Waterways and horses, the transformation of hydraulic power into mechanical energy: in this museum, science, identity and work come together, showing processes we now take for granted.
Good to know
- The Museo Mulino Sapignoli is located in Poggio Torriana.
