This museum is one of the museum complex (“Museo del Mare”). It was founded on February 6, 2011 in San Benedetto del Tronto with the aim of raise the awareness of the “Maritime Civilization” about economic-material, social, spiritual and cultural aspects that have characterized the life of the “People of the sea” (“Gente di mare”): their characteristics, crafts, traditions, beliefs, ways of life, customs, techniques and much more.
This museum is the place where you can enjoy elements, objects, sounds and images useful to reconstruct the collective identity of a part of the seafaring community. A great contribution has been that of the citizens who have donated objects of sea life kept in their homes for decades.
