The National Archaeological Museum is a real hidden treasure, named after the ‘Etruscans of the Frontier’ and it collects the finds coming from the Villanovan and Etruscan-Campan centre of Pontecagnano. It is a heritage of inestimable value, whose most consistent core is represented by the findings from over 9000 burials excavated in the necropolis of Pontecagnano in the last fifty years.
At the centre of the exhibition is the section dedicated to the aristocracy of the Orientalizing period (end of the VIII – end of the VII century B.C.), to which some burials can be referred, which, for the composition and quality of the funerary equipment, have been defined ‘princely’.
