ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM, Local Antiquity Interior

But the section of the Museum of Antiquity that will most intrigue you is the one dedicated to the artifacts found in Piedmont: you'll find them in the partially underground wing, which also makes you feel like you're on a real path to discovering hidden finds in the subsoil.

Your journey begins with the prehistoric section, which mostly consists of pieces from Roman times, including those of the ancient Roman in Turin, Augusta Taurinorum. The collection is organized in chronological order and takes you from prehistoric times up to the modern era. Perhaps the most interesting part is the one about the High Middle Ages, with precious Lombard necklaces such as the Cross of Agilulf.

For the Lombards, Piedmont was of strategic importance because it was the border region with the Kingdom of the Franks; in fact, Charlemagne entered Italy and defeated the Lombards through Piedmont. You'll also see many everyday objects made of various materials, which will take you back to the everyday life of centuries or millennia ago....
