AudioZoom® by eArsGood morningWelcome to the territory of Prazzo, the penultimate municipality in the Upper Maira Valley, lying at an altitude that ranges from 990 metres above sea level to the 3026 metres of the majestic Monte Chersogno. Due to depopulation, the municipality of Prazzo combined with the municipalities of San Michele and Ussolo in 1928. Since then, the population has continued to decline, falling from almost 2,000 inhabitants at the beginning of the 20th century to around 180 residents today .You are about to enter the ancient palace of the former Royal Magistrate's Court and visit the Museum called ‘Fremos, travai e tero’, words that in the local dialect mean ‘women, work and land’. It is a place dedicated firstly to women: without their daily, hard-working and constant contribution, the family and the economy of the area would not have been able to exist and resist.Secondly, it is also a museum of hemp, the plant that has played a fundamental role in the life and family economy of the entire valley.The museum was created thanks to the efforts of a group of volunteers from the Chaliar ODV Association and the contribution of the inhabitants of the village and the Upper Maira Valley, with the aim of safeguarding the demo-ethno-anthropological heritage of the area.To appreciate the contribution made by the local people, suffice it to say that all the material on display was donated and that all the information was obtained from the testimonies of the Valley's inhabitants over the age of 70 - whom we sincerely thank for passing on their knowledge, wisdom, and highly significant values.
