The Lungarotti Foundation is located in the historic center of the city of Perugia. The Foundation was founded in 1987 by the will of the art historian Maria Grazia Marchetti Lungarotti. The Foundation is responsible for promoting and enhancing the Italian agricultural heritage in cultural contexts. In fact, the exhibition spaces of the Foundation host the MUVIT - Wine Museum. The Museum is located in Torgiano inside Palazzo Graziani - Baglioni, a summer residence of the seventeenth century. The Museum is responsible for supporting the international wine economy and offers more than 3000 artifacts. Archaeological finds (pitchers, vases and Etruscan and Roman ceramics), tools and kits, ceramic wine containers from different eras (medieval, Renaissance, Baroque and contemporary), drawings and engravings and goldsmith artefacts are part of the museum collection. Wine has always been an element of great economic and commercial importance, since ancient times. The collections deal with telling the theme through historical vicissitudes. Together with the Wine Museum, the Oil Museum offers an exhibition itinerary articulated around the mythology and history of the Olive tree. Archaeological finds referring to divinities and superstitions are part of the collection: in ancient times it was thought that oil was a good luck charm.
