The whole itinerary is furnished with descriptive panels and historical photos that concern the period gradually examined, to the present day. In a wide room, with exposed wooden beams, there are tools, machineries and typical objects of the agricultural society in Trentino in the latter half of the 19th century (“yesterday”); particular attention is given to the description of the phenomenon of immigration of Trentino that was studied by Lorenzo Guetti.

You can enter then in a smaller room, inside of which the studio of don Guetti was built, with documents relating both to his life and to the birth of the first Cassa rurale in Larido and of the first sales and consumers’ cooperative in Villa of Santa Croce, of which he was the promoter. Once back in the main room, the visitor can admire, in the middle, a scale model that describes the historical centre of the village Marazzone, one of the four hamlets that compose la Quadra; in this reconstruction the typical architecture of the Giudicarie villages of that time is historically interesting.

After going through some highlights of the development of the cooperative movement in Trentino during the fascist period and in the second postwar you arrive in an area that describes the “today” of the cooperative movement of Trentino.

You finally enter into “tomorrow”. It’s possible to stop for a few minutes to see two educational videos that concern the future of cooperation; against the backdrop of globalisation that leads to consider the problems of environmental protection and of developing countries, you can see how the cooperative movement may help to deal with them.
