Lavatoio

The Washhouse “Il Coppo” dates back to the 19th century when the city was wanted to be provided with a public place for washing clothes.

A rectangular structure, made of brick and stone with a tiled roof and an interior featuring a series of basins arranged along the walls.

The simplicity of the architecture is functional to the use of the washhouse, with large spaces for washing clothes and a water channeling system.

This place represents a symbol of a bygone era: not only a functional place, but also a meeting and social hub for the neighborhood’s women, as well as a testament to Senigallia’s daily life of the past.
