Piana delle Orme houses one of the largest and heterogeneous collections that exist today. Mariano De Pasquale, an entrepreneur of Sicilian origin, driven by a passion for history and a strong bond with the Pontine land, was the originator and founder of the museum. Dedicated to the 1900s, the museum complex represents a journey through fifty years of Italian history. An exhibition of more than 30 000 square metres documents the traditions and culture of rural civilisation, the great reclamation works of the Pontine marshes, the events of the Second World War, and exhibits vehicles and tools in use at the start of the period of great industrialisation and toys that the children of the period played with.
