Admission to MUSA - Museo della Salumeria (charcuterie museum)
Museo della Salumeria Villani is in Castelnuovo Rangone, a few kilometres from Modena’s historical center, right in the heart of Emilia’s epicurean land, where charcuterie has been produced for centuries. To walk through the doors of MuSa is to discover the flavors and colors that enchant our palates, the art, and the skills used in charcuterie making.
