Welcome at the Giara Horse Museum
The Giara Horse Museum has the role of gathering past testimonies of its host town, Genoni, by focusing on real-life experiences and knowledge, deeply rooted in the historical memory of its population and preserved in material objects, work, anecdotes and the environment.
