The “Mulino sul Po” is not only an open air museum, it is a symbol of production of the whole area.
The building is in Ro and is an accurate reconstruction of the original water mills that could be found on the River Po from 1912 onwards, a simple design with two hulls and a single wheel and a grinding stone in working order. From here it’s possible to set off and start discovering the territory and its famous “coppia”(local type of bread).
Inside the Mill visitors can witness the grinding of flour and touch the wholemeal flour with wheat germ used today ,as it was a long time ago, to make “the best bread in the world”.
The building is 12,20 m long and 9,36 m tall and can be reached using the dock on the floodplain of the River Po.
The mill is one of the nineteen “Musei del gusto” ( typical food and produce related museums) of the Emilia Romagna Region.
WE INFORM YOU THAT THE MILL ON THE PO CURRENTLY CANNOT BE VISITED, AS IT IS UNDER MAINTENANCE. AS SOON AS IT WILL BE VISITABLE AGAIN, WE WILL GIVE YOU NOTICE ON THIS SITE.
