This museum in the center of Brescello tells the story of some of the best-selling novels (which later became films) in the history of Italian publishing: the adventures of Don Camillo and Peppone, written by Giovannino Guareschi. The novels were set in Brescello: if Don Camillo is the parish priest of the town, the antagonist-friend Peppone is the mayor of the town, belonging to the Italian Communist Party. Many comic moments from films are still part of the Italian cultural imagination.

Inaugurated on 16 April 1989, thanks to the efforts and enthusiasm of a group of passionate volunteers from the town, the “Peppone and Don Camillo” Museum is a space in which you can immerse yourself in the past, letting yourself be guided by the original film posters, photographs in black and white, from the objects of the film sets and from the stories of our young tourist informants.
The environments contain numerous memorabilia linked to the filming of the series including: Peppone's motorbike, Don Camillo's cassock, the bicycles of the protagonists used in the final scene of the third film, the sidecar and the projector with which the first film was shown (“Don Camillo”, directed by Julien Duviver, 1952) at the “Cinema Verdi” in Brescello, in the absolute world premiere.
Outside the museum it is possible to see the tank that appears in a scene of the third film ("Don Camillo and the Honorable Peppone", directed by Carmine Gallone, 1955) and the train locomotive with which, at the end of the first film, Don Camillo is sent into exile in the mountains by the Bishop following one of his stunts.

On the first floor of the Museum you can admire the photographs taken during the making of the films, as well as the reconstructions of some filming environments (such as Peppone's desk).
The bookshop then allows the purchase of souvenirs, books, DVDs and typical local products, including the famous Spongata di Brescello.

This is the exit from the Museum of Don Camillo and Peppone. We couldn't find the entrance. Tickets are supposedly available at the tourist information office on the main street near this house.
