The Blacksmith's Shop is part of the Armungia Museum System, with the Ethnographic Museum “Sa Domu de is Ainas”, the Historical Museum “Emilio and Joyce Lussu” and the Nuraghe Armungia.
Located in the historic center of the town, the Bottega is a small two-story stone building, dating back to the first half of the nineteenth century, restored with respect for original materials and construction technologies. Inside, it houses the environments and tools of the blacksmith's work (“on Ferreri”), organized in an exhibition enriched by illustrative panels with images, descriptions and testimonies.
This artisan workshop was opened in 1928 inside the old residence of the Vellini family, changing the intended use of its spaces.
The large wooden portal leads to the subporch, with the frame for fixing the working animals, and from here into the courtyard, with the sandstone wheels for sharpening tools and the wall drill. These spaces constitute an extension of the central work environment, the forge, where the bellows, the forge, the anvils and the bench are preserved. The room on the first floor illustrates the blacksmith's work in its material and symbolic aspects and tells the story of the Vellini family, who arrived from Piedmont in the mid-nineteenth century in connection with the construction of the Villasalto mine washing plant.
Why it is important to visit it
The Shop documents one of the most important artisan works for agro-pastoral communities of the past, retracing the history of the Vellini family, inserted in the more general history of work in nineteenth-century Sardinia.
