“Ciasa de ra Regoles” – home of the museums
 The home of the museums is the “Ciasa de ra Regoles”. This is one of Cortina d’Ampezzo's major civic buildings, along with the Comùn Vècio, and has a long history behind it. The building is of the typical 19th-cent. Austrian urban type with its canopy roof, shaped cornice and absence of balconies.
The building was originally a school, created by the dean, Rudiferia. In 1825, he convinced the Council to erect it and work was finished in 1827. In 1868, it was already too small for the number of pupils, so another floor was added. The building remained a "People's School" until the new primary schools, run by the church, were opened in 1938. In 1957, it became the headquarters of the Regole d’Ampezzo, the Family Mountain Communities which have managed the land around Ampezzo for centuries.
In 1971-72 the interior of the Ciasa de Ra Regoles was radically renovated. In 1974, the Mario Rimoldi Museum of Modern Art was opened and, in 1975, the “Rinaldo Zardini” Palaeontological Museum and the “Regole d’Ampezzo” Ethnographic Museum were opened. In 1999-2000, the roof and outside frescos were restored. The facades show the coats-of-arms of the single Regole d’Ampezzo.
