The Nina Museum in Civitella del Tronto was a real discovery for us. It looks like a house that houses high fashion items from the years ranging from the end of the eighteenth century to the Second World War. We do not know if the lady who welcomed us was called Nina, but she told us how she had found the pieces in the museum in person and by some of her friends, who had to arrange the rooms in which they had lived their parents.

The assets had been hidden to prevent theft during the war. They were never found except by these girls who were 17 to 19 years old. So they decided to exhibit this precious heritage in the museum today, welcoming visitors curious about the country's history.

Among the most important exhibits, we find:

- The green silk blanket, the only reminder of Ferdinand II of Bourbon's visit to Civitella del Tronto in 1832;

- A Ushak carpet in wool, Turkey, 16th century, from the Kronprinz Palace in Berlin;

- A pink handpiece in silk of San Leucio, belonging to Don Simone Franchi, correspondent of Mons. Francesco Saverio Castiglioni, bishop of Montalto and now Pope Pius VII;

- A Salon Tronetto in wood in gold leaf and decorated and painted glass inlays, 18th century;

- The first Italian public debt certificate (Ordinary Treasury Bond) was drawn up in Naples in 1862;

- The collection of nineteenth-century haute couture clothes from the great European capitals.

A place that shows us the daily life of a noble past.
