The museum of Vallepietra was born to tell the story of the village but also to collect the incredible cultural heritage of the votive offerings of all the pilgrims who have gone to the Sanctuary of the Holy trinity or Santissima over the centuries.
The museum is divided into rooms dedicated to particular aspects: the room of sacred furnishings and vestments which tells the story of the local noble families, that of the Confraternities, that of the priests who succeeded one another in Vallepietra and finally that dedicated to the ex voto and the memories of pilgrims.
Next to the museum there is a documentation center which collects images and films documenting the history of the sanctuary of the SS. Trinity of Vallepietra.
A real peculiarity is the part of the museum dedicated to the Weeping of the Spinsters - Pianto delle Zitelle, a laude by Francesco Tozzi which dates back to the 1700s and which is sung by the 'spinsters' every year in a representation that takes place on the morning of the feast of the Holy Trinity.
This evocative representation with the Madonna dressed in black and the spinsters dressed in white traces the last hours of the life of Christ.
