Guided visit to “Il Cardello” house museum
“Il Cardello” is a splendid example of a nineteenth-century romagnola house, still complete with its original furnishings, just as Luisa Pifferi, daughter of the writer Alfredo and the last to person to lived there, had left it.
In the attic, there are many relics: agricultural tools from the estate (Oriani was a proud wine producer), and the bicycle with which the writer, considered ‘the father of “cycling”, in 1897 made the solo trip of almost 1,000 km between Romagna and Tuscany, which inspired one of his most beloved works: “La Bicicletta”.
