Palazzo dei Conservatori Museum - Castellani Halls

The Sale Castellani contain an appreciable series of materials, which represent the point of arrival of the formation of the historic collections of the Museum in the second half of the XIX century.

The Collezione Castellani, donated by the famous goldsmith and collector Augusto Castellani, is constituted of items that come from the most important archaeological sites in Etruria, Latium, and southern Italy, which cover a period that goes from the VIII to the IV century BC.

In the current exhibition greater importance is given to classical ceramics, both imported from Greece and produced locally in Etruria and Latium, together with items of great interest such as the Aristonothos vase and the bronze Tensa (a chest for sacred objects).

There are also a number of archaeological pieces from the collections of the Museo Artistico Industriale.
