Historical House Museum Cervi

The Cervi House Museum is a farmhouse in Gattatico displaying 500 objects that document rural life in Emilia-Romagna. The exhibition spreads across different living areas and work spaces that show how the family used the house day by day.

The house was home to seven brothers who carried out resistance activities against Nazi-Fascist forces during the Second World War. In 1943 they were arrested and executed, making the building a place of remembrance.

The house shows how farming families lived and worked in the region, with rooms that reveal their daily routines and craftsmanship. The collection tells of social changes that occurred over generations in rural communities.

The museum is open on several days of the week, with visiting hours varying by season. It is recommended to check ahead which days and times are available, as opening hours may change.

A remarkable aspect is the private library that belonged to the family and preserved books with forbidden content during the Fascist period. This hidden collection shows the family's intellectual resistance against censorship.
