The Malcantone Museum of Curio has been renovated. The seat, designed by the architect Luigi Fontana in 1854 for the Scuola Maggiore, has been restructured, while the museum layout has been rethought in form and content. Starting from a brief illustration of the regional history and daily life of the past, the exhibition accompanies the visitor to the discovery of the migratory phenomena - traditionally linked to all areas of the art of construction - which for centuries have characterized the life of the Malcantone people. A small territory of southern Ticino is thus illustrated as a molecule of the great World, with its own specificities but above all with a series of links, often surprisingly distant and deep, with other territories and other cultures: the World in Malcantone, Malcantone in the World. Therefore, these themes are not only concerned with the past, but also with the present and the future of society.
