The Ethnographic Museum of San Vigilio di Rogno preserves and shares the material and immaterial memory of the local community, offering an authentic glimpse into the everyday life of the village and the surrounding area of the lower Camonica Valley between the 19th and 20th centuries.

The collection, consisting of approximately 200 artefacts, includes agricultural and forestry tools, craft instruments, household objects, and items connected to traditional trades such as carpentry, shoemaking, and woodworking.

Each object conveys fragments of practical knowledge passed down through generations, shaped by repeated gestures, hard work, ingenuity, and cooperation. The museum is not merely a place where objects are displayed, but a space for storytelling and encounter, where material culture becomes a key to understanding the relationship between people, the mountain environment, and local resources.

Through the exhibition route, visitors are invited to rediscover the roots of a community and the value of memory as a shared and living heritage. The museum aims to become increasingly accessible through an interpretive approach that allows the objects themselves to “speak,” with the support of QR codes.
