AM Tessera Piemonteincluded
The Borgosesia Museum is dedicated to Carlo Conti (1880-1974), sculptor and Honorary Inspector of the Piedmont Archaeological Superintendency (1923-1954). It was inaugurated in 2007 and bears witness to decades of research on and around Monte Fenera, carried out by universities and supported by GASB, the Borgosesia Archaeology and Speleology Group.
Museo Carlo Conti Ok

The archaeological collection outlines a chronological continuum from the Middle Palaeolithic to the 19th century. The exhibition starts with lithic and ceramic finds from the Mount Fenera, witnesses of prehistoric phases, and then moved to the area of today's Borgosesiahere, grave goods found in ancient Seso document the movement of the settlement between the Iron Age and Roman times. Interesting is the parenthesis of the’High Middle Ages, which marks a partial return to cave life with evidence of craft activities, while finds from the Vanzone Castle illustrate the evolution of the territory from the late Middle Ages to the threshold of the contemporary age.
