MUV - Museum Of Villanovan Civilization

Built in 1853 at the initiative of Count Giovanni Gozzadini, who had discovered the remains of the Villanovan culture in this very area at the end of the 1800s, it was named after the locality where his land was located.

The museum exhibits the steles and funerary equipment from the necropolis of Marano di Castenaso, dating back to the 7th century BC, and it is also available to view through a multimedia system of projections, touchscreens, and videos.
