Form through Time. Reconfiguration for the Musealisation of the Artefacts of the Wooden Villanovan Throne, Moroni Tomb, Verucchio Archaeological Museum in Rimini

Time surely is a boulder, resting on one’s desire for interpretation, governing the process of unveiling, which representation allows. An ancient wooden throne, buried, hidden, crushed under the transformation of the land, lost in form; millenary remains recently shattered and trampled by fate, proposed in the ritual and celebratory definition that a millenary tomb requires. The èkphrasis seeks to govern the dialogue of the memory of a young Villanovan noblewoman, dealing with how much can be symbolically and materially modelled, giving shape to time. The research traces, in compliance with the utmost distinguishability and reversibility of the interpretative process, the stages for the creation of a support for the findings of the Moroni throne in the Archaeological Museum of Verucchio in Rimini. A path that becomes a progressive discovery of form and dimension, of the language of protection and the methods of conservation.
