The museum headquarters of "Casina Pia" is housed in a building presumably constructed around the end of the 1700s. The structure is located in the center of the Riccio Francesco agricultural estate, between the municipalities of Canolo and Gerace. It is a country house with an attached oil mill, built on the rock in the heart of the Prestarona valley, a term of Greek origin meaning the shelter of doves. The rural house has been restored with patient conservation work that has preserved the characteristics of the past. The collection at Casina Pia encompasses precious treasures related to the conditions and habits of life and work in the rural civilization of the past, marked by field labor, seasonal olive pressing, grape harvesting, and domestic life. On the ground floor is the ancient oil mill with a three-stone mill, iron presses from the late 1800s, and a large storage area for oil. The vaulted ceilings use the Roman system called "caruselli," hollow terracotta cylinders. Casina Pia also hosts a Home Restaurant, where visitors can taste the typical products of the Riccio farm.
