“Pietra Viva ” Museum

The “Pietra Viva” (it means “alive stone”) museum is a journey into the world of minerals. The museum, born from the great passion of the Pallaoro twins for minerals, combines the classic exhibition section with the possibility of directly experiencing the world of minerals, and more. Inside, there is a reconstruction of the largest geode (a natural cavity in the rock covered with crystals) found in the Alps by the two brothers.
The history of the Fersina valley is told through metals, with interesting insights into Copper Age practices, customs and ways of life typical of the valley.

Kerbstone Museum

The Kerbstone museum is located at the beginning of the cycle path from Canezza to Palù del Fersina.

This museum is undoubtedly one of the most original in the entire region, created by Dario Pegoretti. The museum contains many road rocks from all over the world (with a particular eye to Trentino, of course). The idea came about when Pegoretti (an amateur cyclist and former technical operator on Trentino roads) noticed these stones piled up in a warehouse because they were no longer up to standard, and considered that they came from roads that had made cycling history and wanted to pay homage to them.

The stones are in fact dedicated, by means of a small plaque, to a cycling champion, thus taking the visitor’s mind back to the times of the legendary exploits of this sport.
