Museo Laboratorio dell'epigrafia popolare
In the stable of Malga Monte, at 2,214 metres above Celentino, a museum devoted to the writings left by shepherds and travellers.
The museum is owned by the ASUC of Celentino and is housed in the large stable of Malga Monte, along the route of the Antica Via delle Malghe: a building once used for the summer grazing of heifers and calves, rebuilt after a fire in the 1990s without changing its shape. On the walls, illustrations and accounts of life at the malga alternate with fragments of classical texts and popular inscriptions also found in other malghe of the Val di Sole, to tell of the solitude of shepherds and farmers at altitude. Those who pass by can leave a piece of writing of their own, which becomes part of the display. From Malga Campo it takes about an hour and a half on foot, passing by the Lago di Celentino.
