The collection of tools, equipment, and machines of the town’s country doctor, Giuseppe Riccardi, was organized in 1985 at the municipal museum located in the former Dominican convent. It consists of just under a thousand objects representative of the local territory. The series of tools for slaughtering and processing pork is complete, highlighting the local production of culatello. Some curious pieces seem to emphasize the connection with the Guatelli collection from Collecchio: among these, a 19th-century funeral carriage with papier-mâché horses. The museum also includes some archaeological finds from lands once watered by the Po River.
