The Museo Trappeto Maratea, the main exhibition space in Vico del Gargano, is located in the medieval village inside an ancient trappeto, an olive mill dating back to the 14th century. It is a very important exhibition space to understand the local culture, which found in the cultivation of olives, and therefore in the environment of the trappeto, one of the foundations of its subsistence.
Inside the Museum / Trappeto, 32.25 meters long and from 3.50 to 5.50 meters wide, there are two areas: in one there are wooden presses for pressing olives, the millstone, and other useful tools for oil production and agricultural work; in the other, you can see an oil tank, a warehouse and a stable. Other interesting elements of the exhibition illustrate the objects of daily life and the monastic kitchen, where those who worked in the oil mill could refresh themselves.
