The Maison de Cogne Gérard Dayné, which represents one of the most significant examples of rural architecture in Valle di Cogne, is an old house dating back to the 17th century and a testimony to the 'wood and stone' architecture typical of the Cogne Valley.
Its recovery as an Ethnographic Museum enhances the evidence of the organisation of the family, the agrarian and forestry environment, common objects and sacred art, beliefs and legends, allowing for a deeper understanding of the places and history of the community.
It is a place where the emotions of memory help us reflect on the preservation and enhancement of the architectural and cultural-historical heritage of Alpine civilisation.
