This Museum in Gorla Minore was opened to the public in the 21st century by the president of the Recreational Club, Mr. Bruno Mercante.

Today the Museum houses hundreds of objects of the Gorlese peasant tradition donated by the population and members of the club.

Before entering the Museum there is a large mural representing some significant places of Prospiano, the barrels with the names of the wines and an elderly couple counting eggs.

This work was commissioned by the Recreation Centre in collaboration with the Municipal Administration of Gorla Minore and was carried out by Guido Bedramin.

At the entrance, there are shelves of polished olive wood full of bottles of wine and ancient liqueurs, and also objects of the peasant tradition divided into categories that we put down below.

Our grandparents were used to using every part of the ear of corn: the inside was burned instead of the more expensive wood, the leaves were used to make the mattress padding, instead of the straw that disintegrated immediately.

In mid-June, when the farmers collected the still not fully ripe grain, they left it to dry in the courtyard and beat it with a large wood, dangerous to use.

In the part relating to domestic life, we find: grinders and irons, a "machine svea" dialect expression to indicate a tool that was used to heat the milk; the sink that was placed in the bedroom because in the houses there was no bathroom.
