Valorizzare il Paleolitico. Reti territoriali e buone pratiche

The Palaeolithic site of Grotta di Fumane, discovered fi fty years ago in the territory of Valpolicella, is an extraordinary testimony to the way of life of Neanderthal Man and the fi rst Anatomically Modern Men thanks to the rich archaeological evidence found in its fi ll. The data collected are crucial for studying the birth of symbolic thought in Homo sapiens and for comparing it with that of Neanderthals. For several years now, the cave has been the object of intense promotion leading to several projects being shared with a wide local network of organizations. The National Archaeological Museum of Verona will soon host two large rooms dedicated to this important Palaeolithic site, equipped with multimedia stations, explanatory panels, casts and thematic showcases.
