The traditional way of life of mountain people involved for each of being both a farmer and rancher, in order to make the most of the limited resources of a territory avaricious, and to become in case of need also craftsman, as the city markets were distant and high prices in relation to the limited financial resources. From here the need to produce in their own home, as far as possible, the tools necessary for the work of the fields and home use.Countless generations of farmers-craftsmen so elaborate, through the centuries, various techniques to make the most of certain agricultural and livestock products: hemp, wool and leather, and to make better use of raw materials that nature offered in large quantities: the wood and stone.
