Museo nazionale etrusco "Pompeo Aria"
Marzabotto
The National Etruscan Museum "Pompeo Aria" Marzabotto shows the history of the archaeological site which lies in
the large surrounding park. The consistency of the remains of the
ancient city, which occupied the Pian di Misano and the towering
Misanello from the late sixth to the middle of the fourth sec.AC, ensure
Marzabotto retains its uniqueness amongst the Etruscan towns. The
abandonment ensured the preservation of the urban design in its original
form so that we can still walk the ancient streets, winding their way
along the dwellings, craft areas and sacred buildings. The most
significant artifacts recovered during the excavations are located in
the museum linked to the archaeological area. On display in the museum
are artifacts which were found in the necropolis (Vases, bronzes, burial
symbols, unguentaria) and artifacts from old and new excavations in the
area, and in the sanctuary on the acropolis, among which is the
exceptional Greek marble head of Kouros. The last room contains two
funerary objects, including one with a marble symbol, found in 1969 in
the nearby town of Sasso Marconi.
