Museo Etnografico Santa Caterina [Santa Caterina Ethnographic Museum]
The Museo Etnografico Santa Caterina was inaugurated in November 1987 to document the daily life and the social and economic history of the Upper Valley of the Albegna and Mount Amiata. The collection (19th and 20th centuries) includes implements for weaving, spinning, gathering and processing chestnuts, harvesting grain, raising cattle, and pasturage. It also includes tools used by smiths, metal workers and charcoal-burners, various utensils and terracotta crockery.
