Ettore Guatelli

Ettore Guatelli was, what i can only assume, a total basket case. Unfortunately i also dont speak italian so researcing on the internet is useless to me at this time. However, from what i can gather, he is essentially the italian version of Henry Mercer (whos massive "everyday object" collection can be seen down the road from me in doylestown, pa (which is totally worth seeing btw)).

  1. Dear mister Turner, I've seen the page about Guatelli Museum in your blog, so I decided to publish on our site the video of a visit in English that we organized some time ago for the guides of the museum.
    Our Association (Amici di Ettore Guatelli e del Museo – Ettore Guatelli and his Museum's friends) manages the guide service and every year organizes a refresher course. The visit was a lesson of that course.
    If you want to see it, you can look at our site: www.amiciguatelli.it.
    Thanks for your attention to the Museum of our friend Ettore.

    Should you want any other information about Ettore and the Museum, I'd be happy to answer to your questions.
