Civic Museum in Piana degli Albanesi
The Civic Museum of Piana degli Albanesi has a vast collection of objects linked to the history of peasant civilization and ancient crafts that are now extinct.
The section that makes this museum unique is that of the traditional c ostumi of Piana degli Albanesi . The collection is based more on feminine ones distinguished in daily and gala, one of which is complete with accessories that make it suitable for weddings. these two are entirely hand embroidered in gold on silk. The gold embroidery is so rich that it appeals to women wearing these costumes "dressed in the sun".
The ostensive herbarium curated by professor Antonio Mirabella, who collected the most important plant species found in the Serre della Pizzuta Nature Reserve, in the territory of Piana degli Albanesi.
The section dedicated to the Portella delle Ginestra massacre of the 1947 which was the first state massacre. This section was edited by the historian Francesco Petrotta who is one of the leading experts on the Portella massacre.
