The Colombano Romean Ecomuseum and the resources of the territory
The Colombano Romean Ecomuseum is not a conventional museum, it is a project where ancient buildings, artifacts, and tools used in daily life narrate centuries of history and exploitation of the territory's resources.
Description
In past centuries, the availability of natural resources strongly influenced the spatial distribution of human activities and consequently the landscape of the Susa Valley. The excursion in the Gran Bosco di Salbertrand Natural Park will allow you to learn about the environment and discover the resources that have ensured the survival of entire generations of mountain dwellers.
Slopes facing south and slopes facing north have been frequented and exploited differently over the centuries, forcing humans to invent alternative professions to the traditional ones, sometimes unlikely, for a complete exploitation of all available resources.
...The inhabitants of Salbertrand improvised as ice quarrymen, and went as far as selling an avalanche to increase their income to the brink of mere subsistence...
The waters of the river that froze and produced a valuable economic resource, the terraces now overrun by vegetation, extensive larch forests once used for grazing, quarries of loose stone, charcoal kilns, lime kilns will introduce us to the visit of the Colombano Romean Ecomuseum where ancient buildings and artifacts appear to the visitor as examples of a past waiting to be discovered, providing interesting food for thought for a more complete reading of the territory.
Methodology

- The nineteenth-century Icehouse and the production of ice that was sold in the city to preserve food
- The Charcoal Kilns and the distillation of coal from the wood of the forests
