Museo della Val Codera

The Historical-Ethnographic Museum of Codera Valley (province of Sondrio), established in 1981, consists of didactic exhibitions located in the two ancient villages of Codera and San Giorgio, accessible only on foot. In Codera, on the ground floor of the Casa di Valle, and in two old typical buildings of the village, there are the sections dedicated to: the house (with traditional tools and furniture), textile fiber processing (loom), dairy and farming, the old school and the mineralogical section with precious species that are found in the valley (aquamarine, garnet). In San Giorgio a stone made house contains a historical section and one section with equipment, memories and photos on the exploitation of granite Sanfedelino, which for centuries has marked the lives of these peoples: in reconstruction, in an abandoned quarry, the place of work of "picapreda" (stone cutter), complete with all equipment.
