La collection of tools, equipment, and machines of the 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 area. The series of instruments for slaughtering and processing pork is complete, indicative of the local production of culatello. Some curious pieces seem to emphasize the connection with the Guatelli collection of Collecchio: among these, a 19th-century hearse with papier-mâché horses. The museum also includes some archaeological finds from lands once watered by the Po River.
