Trappeto Maratea Municipal Museum, Vico del Gargano

The Trappeto Maratea Museum, the main exhibition space in Vico del Gargano, is located in the medieval village within an ancient trappeto, that is, an olive mill, dating back to the 14th century.

It is a very important exhibition space to understand the local culture, which found in olive cultivation, and therefore in the environment of the trappeto, one of the foundations of its subsistence.

Inside the Museum/trappeto, which is 32.25 meters long and between 3.50 and 5.50 meters wide, there are two areas: in one there are wooden presses for olive pressing, the millstone, and other tools useful for oil production and agricultural work; in the other, you can see an oil tank, a warehouse, and a stable. Other interesting elements of the exhibition illustrate everyday objects and the monastic kitchen, where those working in the mill could refresh themselves.
