Mergozzo (VB): the museum’s entrance<\/p><\/div>\n

The museum was inaugurated in 2003, after the transfer of materials from the Preacher’s House, which has since become inadequate, to the current headquarters in Via Roma. The institute houses a collection of materials from the area of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, which are the result of donations from private individuals<\/strong> and excavations by the Archaeological Group of Mergozzo<\/strong>. The oldest finds date back about 5000 years: these are flint tools<\/strong>, such as stone axes from Mergozzo and Baceno, and some ceramic fragments. From the Late Iron Age<\/strong> (1st century BC) there are four stelae<\/strong> from Brisino, on which are incised, in leponzio (Celtic language), the names of the deceased, as well as a Celtic sword from Mozzio di Crodo and the grave goods of the necropolis of Carcegna.<\/p>\n

There are numerous testimonies of the Roman age<\/strong>, given also the position of Mergozzo, which was an important point of transit: two necropolis<\/strong>, located in Cappella and Praviaccio, dating back to the 1st-3rd century AD, have returned the complete grave goods (jugs and ceramic oil lamps, glass objects, coins) of six and seven tombs respectively. The remains of a high-imperial furnace<\/strong> have also been found, in Robianco, of a sacello dedicated to Jupiter and of some tombs in the hamlet of Candoglia. The most recent archaeological evidence consists instead of the grave goods of the tombs of Carcegna<\/strong> (4th-5th century) and the early medieval ones of St. John in Montorfano<\/strong>, which testify to the Christianization of the area.<\/p>\n
