The ecological museum

The ecological museum is a tribute to Malesco and its environs, the wealth of which has long depended on the processing of soapstone.

Everything here, whether formed by the human hand or nature, is a tribute to stone: the waterfalls of Loana, the marble quarries, the soapstone and the architecture of the whole village.

This unusual museum is distributed across various municipalities: from Malesco, Finero and Zornasco to Alpe Straolgio.

In Zornasco is the Mulin dul Tač, the largest of the 54 mills in Vigezzo Valley still in existence. The buildings, dating back to the 17th century, were recently renovated but the original atmosphere has remained intact in the rooms.
