The Museum in May of Villa Minozzo is born with the aim of creating a permanent documentation center on a tradition of popular theater typical of the Tuscan Emiliano.

Inside are images of significant moments of representations from the postwar period to the present day, visual documents of various kinds, with the opportunity to watch films and listen to the original audio parts.
The documentary material is enriched, moreover, by thesis, literary enthusiasts and scholars, as well as a small library which opens the perspective of the visitor towards other forms of popular tradition related to May from a close relationship intellectual. This closeness is well described in the "Room of traditions sisters" where you can observe similar forms of theatricality came down to us from Iran, Africa and the Iberian Peninsula.
What it characterizes May dramatic are its ancient origins, the close connection with the natural places of which is the expression and its transmission from generation to generation of a typical rural culture that is gradually disappearing. Hence the urgent need to preserve and spread this important cultural heritage.
