The Ethnographic Africa-Mozambique Museum was opened in 1980 but the realisation of its real work started from 1950 when the first missionaries arrived in Puglia. After 1950, the missionaries continued to come to Italy for vacations and relaxation several times, bringing many local crafts from Africa. These artefacts were collected in one room of the Santa Fara Sanctuary and formed the core of the Museum.
