Truble Pics + museumofruralculture

this week's obsession
ettore guatelli founded the museum of rural culture in ozzano tara in the province of parma, italy named after him, museo ettore guatelli. after the war he began to collect "old things" such as tools, implements, furniture & clothing that were no longer fashionable because of mechanization and were threatened with destruction. he continued to collect and display these items until his death in 2000. anyone who knows me, knows i have a bit of ettore in me - i am definitely a collector and organizer! i'm dying to visit here! hopefully one day.
