There are empty drawers and others who are struggling to close. There are many who open every day and some who prefer to remain closed. Some key for added security. There are memories
that accumulate in drawers and manuscripts to stay. And finally there are drawers that open to release ideas, stories and dreams. About
objects in the drawers of our territory has a very ancient tradition and interesting. Since the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, in fact, were active and ottonai peltrai producing household items such as cutlery, candlesticks, oil lamps in brass, copper pots and warmers. It was a job that often took them far away from their homes in France, Switzerland and Germany, where running from city to city build and sell these items.

It was a job that often took them far away from their homes in France, Switzerland and Germany, where running from city to city build and sell these items.
Their numbers and their production at some point even began to annoy the local artisans, who denounced these foreigners on charges of producing and selling items that we would today call "fake" with a quantity of precious metal lower than that provided by law for metals.
process ensued, which, however, our emigrants were acquitted, demonstrating that it was only thanks to their talent if they could produce quality items at lower prices.
Fueling the emigration was the practice of apprenticeship, which leads many young people to follow the most experienced craftsmen. Could become an apprentice only one who claims a legitimate birth and was considered righteous and pious. The training period lasted from three to eight years. If the young bear these years of hard practice, the teacher required the creation of a work test before awarded the status of a worker.
One of the first documentary evidence of the practice of apprenticeship, Cusiana on earth, is from 1628 and concerns an agreement between Bernardo Bernardino Mountains and Gonnella, both Orta, so that brings with it Gonnella Baptist Mountains in Spain, the son of Bernardo.
Among other things, always about the drawers, there is a type of building which is a sort of large tray containing mysterious objects that speak of our past. One time they called Wunderkammer (Chamber of Wonders). Today we call it a museum. On our territory there are many, but when it comes to household objects is a compulsory visit to the Museum of Arts and Industry Omegna, which tells the story of his home in the great tradition of Cusio peltrai from ancient to modern design and the coffee pot pressure.
