The Bolognini Castle houses three fascinating museum itineraries: the Morando Bolognini Museum, a refined house-museum with 24 richly furnished rooms; the Lombardy Museum of the History of Agriculture, which traces the evolution of work in the fields from its origins to the 20th century; and the Bread Museum, entirely dedicated to the history and culture of this fundamental foodstuff.

Morando Bolognini Museum

Established in the early decades of the 20th century, the museum welcomes visitors in a sumptuous house-museum articulated in 24 salons. Each room allows you to relive atmospheres of bygone days, thanks to a precious display of furniture, paintings and crockery dating from the 18th to the 20th century, enriched by fine wrought-iron handicrafts.

  • The pearls of the collection: Prominent among them are the Library, with a collection of around 2000 volumes, and the impressive Armoury, which boasts over 500 pieces from different periods and origins.
  • Prestigious environments: The route winds through fascinating places such as the Throne Room, the Hall of the Ancestors, the evocative Chapel private and the beautiful Hall of Mirrors.

Lombardy Museum of Agricultural History

An encyclopaedic exhibition narrating the evolution of work in the fields: from Neolithic origins to Roman times, through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to the “Green Revolution” of the 20th century.

  • Lodigiana tradition: A large section is dedicated to the local rural civilisation, with the meticulous reconstruction of the workshops (carpenter, blacksmith and saddler) and the humble agricultural workers' housing.
  • Innovation: The museum also looks to the future with a modern interactive model illustrating the rational and sustainable management of livestock waste through an electronic game.

Bread Museum

A sensorial and didactic route divided into four thematic rooms:

  1. Raw Materials: An overview of cereals used in different world cultures.
  2. The Chain: An educational area illustrating the “Wheat-Flour-Bread” life cycle.
  3. The Architecture of Bread: An extraordinary collection of over 500 loaves of royal breads, from every region of Italy and numerous foreign countries.
  4. Technology: An exhibition dedicated to historical equipment and technical tools used in the art of baking.
