The discoveries have laid the foundations for the creation of a proper "Academic Archaeological Park" that will include a reconstruction of the interactions between human cultures and the natural environment.
The municipality celebrates the results achieved: "With great satisfaction we are turning new pages in the history of Barbarano and its territory", commented the Mayor Rinaldo Marchesi with pride.
