Museo Pietra Viva Sant’Orsola
This magical place goes beyond any touchstone, as the saying goes. In the old days, a touchstone was a stone used to test the purity of gold by rubbing against it. Here the minerals are really brought alive by the passion and dedication of twins Mario and Lino Pallaoro: seekers, collectors, explorers and mineral experts renowned both in Italy and further afield. They are here to lead you on a dreamlike journey into the history of the Fersina Valley, among gold nuggets, fossils and all kinds of crystals. Adults and children alike will be enchanted by the tale of Franz, a boy who gets lost between the Valsugana and the Enchanted Valley. A boy who learns to use the natural resources of the mountain to survive. Lino and Mario's workshops allow visitors to experience the same wonder as the young traveller. You'll learn to light a fire, pan for gold, and be amazed at a luminescent cave full of crystals. The Museo Pietra Viva is an unmissable stop for anyone seeking to understand what mountains are made of. And we also offer a fabulous venue for birthday parties!
