Objects from the past at Aunt Ernesta’s house
Recommended for Primary School and Kindergarten - active
Walking through the Tosnacco district, children are guided in finding objects from the past hidden along the streets. These objects lead them to “Aunt Ernesta’s house”. Here they visit the mid-nineteenth-century home, where the story of Ernesta Donegana and life in the mountain pastures is told. During the visit, the children can return the objects they have found to the correct rooms and discover their function through stories about traditions and crafts.
