Museo dell’Olivo e dell’Olio
With support from research institutes in Italy and abroad, the Lungarotti family helped organise the Museo dell’Olivo e dell’Olio, which opened in 2000. Contained in a series of medieval houses, the museum traces the production cycle of the olive, displays olive oil accoutrements and documents the culture and use of olives and how they relate to the economy, the landscape, religion, medicine, diet, sport, crafts and traditions.

Museo del Vino
The most important wine museum in Europe, Torgiano’s Museo del Vino was started in 1974 by the Lungarotti matriarch, Maria Grazie. The 20-room former palace traces the history of the production of wine in the region back to Etruscan times. Displays of utensils, graphic art, wine containers and production techniques sit alongside a personal collection of photos from the 1950s.
