Things to do in Isola del Cantone Italy – what to see attractions and activities

It is located in a particular and very suggestive position, between two spurs of rocky conglomerate. Precisely for this particular position it is counted among the most visited points of cultural attraction of the Antola Regional Natural Park. It is also part of the Italian national monuments. This construction had the function of defensive and dwelling. Today it is still in good condition and can be visited, but it is only reachable on foot.

This is a museum dedicated to the rooms of the stables and all the tools that make them up. It allows the visitor to better understand mountain life and its customs.

The seventeenth-century church, rebuilt, in its present forms, in the 17th century, houses an important picture gallery inside it. There are works by authors of the seventeenth century Genoese such as Bartolomeo Guidobono, Domenico Fiasella, Giovanni Andrea de Ferrari, Aurelio Lomi, Orazio De Ferrari, Anton Maria Piola, Giovanni Andrea Carlone.

The museum consists of three halls in which the exhibitions are held, very different from each other. At the entrance there is a case that contains phosphorescent materials that change color in the light. The second show shows discoveries of different sizes, such as Bison Priscus's leftover leather, and the tooth of Elefas Primigenius. The third room reproduces the life of the first hominids and the community of primitive men. Archaeology workshops give the opportunity to move through time, paint beasts and sign parts of the cave.

The Museum of the Italian Red Cross was founded in 1981, within the premises of the C.R.I headquarters in Camporone. The exhibition is divided into eleven rooms where objects, windows and vintage photos are exhibited that saw the history of the Italian Red Cross during the two World Wars. You can therefore admire about five hundred carefully described and catalogued objects that tell the war period and the story of the missing soldiers.

The Puppet Museum was established in 1996 in the interior rooms of Palazzo Balbi. The core of the collections is part of the collection of Angelo Cenderelli, creator and curator of the famous puppet theater of Campomorone. The museum's collection includes about seventy puppets built with wood and papier-mache, while the scenographic part consists of one hundred and thirty shaped elements.

The cult building is divided into two bodies, the first includes an atrium and a cantonia, area of the church in which the singers take place, in which there is a working organ from 1894. The second body consists of three parts, naves. Inside there are about fifty paintings of folk art, presumably from the 19th century, on the altar, located in the central nave, we find a wooden statue depicting the Madonna.
