VISITORS CENTRE CALVATONE-BEDRIACUM “MARIA TERESA GRASSI”

Calvatone (CR)

included

Since 1988, the University of Milan has led a research project at the archaeological site of Calvatone-Bedriacum, a Roman vicus active between the end of the 2nd century BC and late antiquity.

In 2011, to improve public use of the site, the Calvatone Municipality, with co-financing from the Lombardy Region and scientific advice from UniMI, created the 'Visitors Centre Calvatone-Bedriacum"a centre for the dissemination of UniMI's archaeological research and excavations in Calvatone Romana.

The centre, dedicated to the 'story of archaeology', presents the work in progress at the site, through an introduction to visiting the archaeological site at the same time as the excavation and the constant dissemination of scientific research even when the archaeological area is inaccessible. Within the Visitors Centre, UniMI archaeologists carry out dissemination, teaching and research activities, also making use of new technologies (3D reconstructions, videos, multimedia panels). The Visitors Centre consists of a room dedicated to the story of the excavations, which houses some archaeological finds unearthed at the site, including the famous coin hoard (a 'treasure trove' consisting of 144 silver coins) found in 2018, and a multimedia room dedicated to communication and educational activities.
