The collection has already been honored and eulogized by the writer Andrea Camilleri and by the old Italian Republic President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi. The frame affectionate and competent of the members of the family La Scala, is the guide more appropriate to view the charriots and listen to the history of arts and crafts, and to revive the socio-cultural environment of the wheelwright, a role that has now disappeared.
