The “Dino Bianco” Museum of Peasant Civilization in Sammichele di Bari is a tribute to the peasant culture of the area, which is told through objects and work tools from the 19th and 20th centuries.
The exhibition itinerary allows you to admire agricultural tools and instruments from the 19th century to the 1950s. The exhibits are arranged on three floors and the visitor is welcomed by a manuscript of the founder and an old wine flask, the symbol of the museum.
On the first floor there are plows and other tools essential for working in the fields, used to break up the land and thresh the wheat. The second floor is dedicated to peasant religiosity, with valuable wooden and papier-mâché statues and several paintings.
