    The Borgo del Maglio, composed of a nucleus of rural buildings, is included in the Trompia Valley Museum System and sees the presence of two museums:

    Il Maglio Averoldi Museum: forge of the fifteenth century, characterized by a functioning water wheel that still moves the hammer today and which allows you to watch iron working demonstrations.

    Pietro Malossi House Museum: presents a large and varied private collection of cultural assets, from weapons to furniture, from prints to paintings.

      The old Averoldi mill and forge are situated in the Grotta area of Ome.

      In 1155, the monastery of Rodengo bought a property at Cerezzata, Ome, which included vineyards, fields, woodland and part of a mill. This property was kept by the monastery until the end of the sixteenth century because it was profitable, being used for grinding grain from the monastery and for making iron agricultural tools.

      References to the mill are frequent and detailed from 1500 onwards, and show it to have been efficient and active under the proprietor Forelli Battola.

      In 1641 it was equipped with two waterwheels. In the commercial assessment of 1744, when it belonged to Pavolo Battola, there were references to "a mill with just one waterwheel" equipped with "a millstone that grinds only grape seeds" and to a "forge with two fires". The commercial assessment of 1750 describes it as a "forge with two fires with unreliable water", where Pavolo Battola, son of Stefano, produced "small irons".

        Passage near the old mill. Highly recommended.
