Villages in the Pre- and Proto-historic Veneto – II

This route, related to "Houses in the Pre and Proto-historic Veneto – I", leads tourists to the discovery of all the particular aspects of the domestic life of the people who lived in Veneto during Bronze and Iron Age: the organization of the space, the structure, the decoration of the rooms and everything related to the domestic life. The four stages offer four well-known examples of pre and proto-historic houses in the central-East Veneto: the first one in Mel (VI-V centuries B.C.) based on the remains exhibited at Civic Museum in the territory of Zumelle (X century B.C. today known as Oderzo) which was an important historical centre of the modern Treviso area; the second one shows the remains related to the stemmed village of “Le Motte di Sotto” in San Martino di Lupari, dating back to the middle Bronze Age.
