“When we visited our Museum of Farm Life, I was fascinated by the way it came into being. Everyone in Roviano gave their own objects and all together they left behind a vivid and unforgettable trace of those years (the objects in the museum range from the last two decades of the nineteenth century to the 1980s). I was struck by the wealth of models and objects gathered in each section in all sizes and shapes; by the purposeful way the objects are displayed, particularly in the section devoted to childhood, the old umbrellas and the very explanatory captions, which I found interesting. Everything has been preserved in the best way; this I find highly enticing. Even if we don’t visit the museum frequently, we should be proud of our origins, traditions and, most of all, of the museum itself. Even if the world has changed drastically because of technological advances, which have replaced farmers and sharecroppers, Roviano has not lost its traditions and enterprising spirit.” 14
