The baroque church of San Sebastiano in Bardino Nuovo is pleasant enough, but what makes the hamlet worth a brief stop is the small collection of antique clocks and watches housed nearby — an oddly specific local institution that delights anyone who stumbles on it.
The collection spans several centuries of timekeeping and includes both pocket watches and longcase clocks. It is a charming and unusual thing to find in a village this size, and speaks to the quirky collecting instincts that make small-town Italy so rewarding to explore.
