The museum was established in 1885 and is located at Palazzo Cuttica in Cassine<\/strong>, an eighteenth-century noble residence in the city center. It is not a purely archaeological museum, since inside there are preserved tapestries and sacred vestments that belonged to Pius V<\/strong> – the only Piedmontese Pope – as well as memorabilia related to Napoleon Bonaparte<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As for the archaeological section, it includes the finds of the Di Negro Carpani collection<\/strong> (named after the nineteenth-century collector), dating back to a time span from the protohistorical age to the early medieval phase. They come mainly from funerary areas<\/strong>: the oldest materials (polished stone axes, bronze buttons and fibulae, ceramic remains) date back to the 3rd-2nd century BC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Roman age<\/strong> is evidenced by the finds, such as oil lamps, glass ointments, ceramic vases, coming from a necropolis (1st-3rd century AD) located along the Postumia, a street that connected Genoa to Aquileia. The materials of the late ancient and early medieval phase testify instead to the key role played by Dertona<\/strong> (today Tortona), located along two important road axes, the Postumia and the Aemilia Scauri (which connected Tortona to ancient Carrara, passing through Liguria). As regards the epigraphic material<\/strong>, it comes in particular from the church of SS. Simone and Judas (which no longer exist).<\/p>\n
