museo del contadino
The Forio d'Ischia Museum is dedicated to the island's peasant civilization and agricultural tradition, featuring historic tools, winemaking utensils, and exhibits of rural life.
The Farmer's Museum is located in Panza, in the municipality of Forio d'Ischia, and is housed within the historic D'Ambra winery. It is an ethnographic museum that recounts the long history of Ischia's rural culture, once the driving force of the island's economy before the development of tourism.
The exhibition features ancient agricultural tools and objects related to viticulture and daily rural life: presses, wooden barrels, harvesting equipment, and tools used in working the fields and on the island's typical terraces, known as "parracine."
A significant portion of the museum is dedicated to the culture of wine, a central element of Ischia's tradition, with evidence of ancient production techniques and the evolution of local agriculture over time. The museum also includes photographic and documentary materials that demonstrate the island's transition from an agricultural economy to a tourist and spa destination.
