BaitoneAlpino Suggests: Museum Foletto

The Foletto Museum, located in Pieve on Lake Ledro, showcases 170 years of the Foletto family's pharmaceutical tradition. It contains machinery dating back to before the two world wars of the previous century, a historic herbarium, and has preserved the entrance to the old pharmacy as it was in the mid-19th century. To share the history and tradition, various guided tours lasting approximately one hour each are offered, along with activities and workshops (such as making soaps and creams), allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the story of nearly two centuries of work, culture, and passion. During these hands-on activities, visitors will use original equipment (e.g., scales, machinery, and weights), employing natural raw materials (e.g., beeswax, flowers and roots from the museum's botanical garden, oil and lemons from Garda, etc.) to create artisanal "medicines."
