Segantini 15: Museum Regiunal Savognin

The Museum regiunal Savognin offers an insight into everyday farm life and the lives of the ancestors of Savognin's inhabitants. At times, special exhibitions provide a deeper insight into past times.

Rural life in the 19th century

In the middle of the 19th century, there were around 90 farms in Savognin. Most of the inhabitants were full farmers. All kept animals and cultivated fields and gardens for self-sufficiency. Cows, pigs, sheep and chickens provided dairy products, eggs and meat. In addition to grain and potatoes, hemp and flax were grown. The income came from the cattle trade. This was used to buy products that could not be produced in-house, such as salt, sugar, coffee, flour and tools. Most of the tools as well as clothes and shoes were made in the village.

In 1880, 504 people lived in Savognin. In addition to the peasants, there were about 50 people with other professions, such as carpenters, butchers, servants and maids.
