Mulino Natante

This picturesque shipmill on the river is an external feature of the museum. It is the only life-size reconstruction of a perfectly operational shipmill, a record of the more than 300 shipmills that existed along the River Po, from Cremona to its mouth, in the early 20C.

Visitors learn about the history and functioning of these distinctive local landmarks, illustrations of the social and economic life of their times, as well as about the daily life of the millers, a core presence in river life until the 1930s.
