Five water mills (known as the factories), which were powered by the roggia molinara (water mill canal) of the small river Pescone, were transformed into turner’s workshops in the mid-eighteen hundreds, and were used until a few decades ago. Inside one of these factories are a few rooms devoted to turned objects dating back to the beginning of the XIX century and to later years. A section, which is especially picturesque, has been created in a turner’s workshop. Here visitors can admire the original tools and machinery used for turning wood.
