Museo NINA

About

The 'Nina Museo delle Arti Cretive Tessili' displays a collection of old customary costumes, which for the most part, date back to the historical period of the eighteenth-century until the period after the 'First World War'. The museum itself houses these artifacts in a spacious area of more than 300 square meters, which previous to being a museum was Civitella's old bakery. The exposition consists of more than 3000 pieces, housing a wide variety of styles and is enriched with a reconstructed bedroom from the eighteen-hundred's, a table from the Nineteen-forty's and a hand made silk bedspread and bedding from Civitella. The name 'Nina' is the diminutive of 'Gaetana Graziani Scesi'. The richness of the display of Civitella's history is due particularly to 'Nina's personal love and affection for both her families history and the history of Civitella and it's fortress. In fact, the majority of the museum's collection belonged to members of the 'Scesi' family .
