Museum of cutting blades and Palazzo Vicari

The Museum of Cutting Blades exhibits five sections dedicated to knife production, Italian cutlery centers, and traditional craftsmanship within the Palazzo dei Vicari building.

The museum, established in 1999, documents centuries of knife-making traditions dating back to the fifteenth century when Scarperia gained recognition for cutting tools production.

The collection includes an ancient cutler's workshop that demonstrates traditional manufacturing techniques used by local artisans from the early 1900s through the 1970s.

Visitors can participate in knife assembly demonstrations at a dedicated workbench, with educational workshops and guided tours available through Pro Loco Scarperia.

The Research and Documentation Center maintains records of cutting tool history, while multimedia presentations and tactile exhibits ensure accessibility for all visitors.
