With a steady image of peasant life, two buildings demonstrate the uses and customs of the Valle del Chiese. They are Marascalchi House in Cimego and Bonus House in Bondo.
Bonus House - Small Museum of Peasant Life
Bonus House located in the historic centre of Bondo, is a museum dedicated to peasant art that houses over 300 tools used in "peasant houses in the beginning of the 1900s".
This museum also offers a unique opportunity to those interested in languages and dialects: each name, in fact, is given in both dialects!
