VISITORS CENTRE CALVATONE-BEDRIACUM “MARIA TERESA GRASSI”

Calvatone (CR)

included

Since 1988, the University of Milan has led an important archaeological research project at the site of Calvatone-Bedriacum - a Roman vicus active between the end of the 2nd century BC and late antiquity. Today, the Visitors' Centre is named after Maria Teresa Grassi, the archaeologist and lecturer at the University of Milan who for years passionately directed the excavations and field activities.

The Visitors Centre Calvatone-Bedriacum was founded in 2011 on the initiative of Municipality of Calvatone, thanks to the co-financing of Lombardy Region and the scientific advice of the’University of Milan (UniMi), with the aim of enhancing the site and making it accessible to the public.

A true pole dedicated to the story of archaeology, centre allows you to discover the research and excavations underway at Calvatone Roman. The centre introduces visitors to the wonders of the archaeological site during the excavation campaigns and ensures the constant dissemination even during periods when the area is inaccessible. Inside, UniMi archaeologists carry out teaching, research and dissemination activities supported by innovative technologies, such as 3D reconstructions, videos and multimedia panels.

The exhibition is divided into two main spaces:

An exhibition hall which tells the story of the excavations and houses important finds - including the famous “treasury” of 144 silver coins found in 2018.
A multimedia room entirely dedicated to communication and educational workshops.
