In this place, the remains of an ancient settlement have resurfaced, which classical sources identify as Parra. Through an evocative itinerary, the museum leads to the discovery of the Orobi, the people who inhabited these lands during the’Iron Age, during the 1st millennium B.C. The collection offers a privileged insight into their civilisation, displaying a rich selection of pottery, bronze and glass ornaments, stone tools, bone and horn artefacts, as well as rare numismatic exhibits.

These objects are not mere fragments of the past, but direct witnesses of the daily life, of handicraft excellence and ancient forms of worship. They also document the intensity of the trade and cultural exchanges that linked Parra to the neighbouring Central-Alpine and Celtic populations.
