The third stop on our itinerary, the Orma Museum (the name being an acronym for the Italian terms for "Workshop, Roots, Museum, Archaeology"), was established to promote the archaeological finds discovered in the area over the centuries.

The exhibition is located inside the Antico Broletto di Mondaro, a fifteenth-century building constructed in the style of Lombardy's thirteenth-century "broletti", with a rusticated stone tower, which was recovered through restoration interventions that began in 2000. Through a vertical development, the archaeological museum  recounts the history of the inhabitants of Valtrompia, from the Mesolithic to the 7th century AD: a journey through time spacing from hunter-gatherers' high-altitude bivouacs to the birth of the Trumplini people, up to and beyond the Roman conquest.
