Mulin dul Tacc

Il Mulino is one of the museum cells of the regional Ecomuseum of the Soapstone and the Scalpellini, recognized by the Piedmont Region, in 2007.

Ancient mill with three millstones with hemp grinder, rebuilt in its original appearance integrated with a multimedia tour. Three large stone millstones and an oil mill, which have seen two centuries of water and work go by, tell the story of the Mulin dul Tač, so called from the name of the last miller. With its four stone structures moved by the water it was the largest mill in the Vigezzo Valley and one of the oldest that is preserved intact (it dates back at least to the first half of the nineteenth century), a reference point for the milling of cereals and chestnuts. and for the kneading of the hemp of hundreds of families in the Valley.

Through the original structures and artifacts, faithfully restored, flanked by educational and multimedia supports, the path inside the Mill addresses the issues of the functioning of the millstones and related processes, but also tells the production cycles that were behind the mill itself: the cultivation of rye, the treatment of chestnuts, the long and laborious operations linked to textile production, with particular reference to hemp, which was defibrated in the mill inside the mill.
