One of the few activities we embarked upon in Riva del Garda
that did not involve us getting sopping wet, was visiting the local history
museum. As far as I could tell, the museum was telling the long history of the
rather ancient town, but not being able to read or understand Italian, I
couldn't be sure. However, the museum was full of artifacts from possibly the
Bronze Age or something similar, some dioramas pertaining to that era, as well
as some newer paintings from a couple hundred years ago. Among the collection
of Bronze Age artifacts were a few mannequins, apparently depicting the clothes
and accessories one would have worn in that era:
Only in Italy would you find mannequins in a museum looking
like they had just walked off the runway in Milan.
