The guide tells you about the rise and development of one of the most advanced civilisations of the peninsula, discovered through decades of excavations that have brought to light hundreds of objects of inestimable value. Artisans, priestesses, warriors and princes are waiting for you and are told thanks to our expert guide.
In this chronological journey you will discover:
- The Hall of the Ancestors which contains the oldest findings of the ninth century BC;
- The wonderful Sala del Mantello, which houses unique fabrics, found in exceptional conservation conditions especially thanks to the particular composition of the Verucchio soil;
- The rooms dedicated to Villanovan warriors, where you will admire splendid helmets, shields and weapons in bronze and iron;
- The Throne Room, the focal point of the museum, where there is the Lippi 89 Tomb and its incredible funeral set with the carved wooden throne;
- The symbolism linked to the Museum Logo, divine and ritual connection with the world of nature, continuing in the Amber Room and new excavations;
- The hall of the Sacred Area, the only reference to the Villanovan village with the votive well used for centuries until the fourth century BC, even after the disappearance of villanovans.
