The Spinning and Weaving Hemp Museum
Inaugurated in 2008, the Museo della Canapa of Sant’Anatolia di Narco is hosted in the building that used to be the Municipal seat, and it is one of the “Antennas” of the Valnerina Valley Eco-Museum that was founded to enhance the culture, techniques and ancient knowledge of this territory.
The Museum Display documents the entire cycle of transformation of raw hemp—from farming, maceration and drying up to kneading and carding processes—and displays collections of textiles dating from the 17th to the 20th century.
