On Monday, June 25, work officially began on the seismic retrofitting of the municipal building in Pizzone, which, among other things, houses the Bear Museum.
The work will continue for most of the year, and for this reason, we expect to be able to welcome many of you again starting in early 2026.
The museum is one of the venues and initiatives through which we can present the Marsican brown bear for what it is: an animal that symbolizes the Central Apennines and plays a vital role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems. In fact, it contributes to seed dispersal, soil fertilization, and the regulation of other species’ populations. Furthermore, its presence has a positive socioeconomic impact on local communities, as its mere presence is capable of attracting a significant flow of tourists and fostering environmental awareness aimed at the protection and conservation of its habitat.
The Bear Museum features an exhibition itinerary dedicated to the natural history of bears and their relationship with humans. In addition, there is a section dedicated to environmental interpretation and a room equipped for screening documentaries.
