The civilization of Veneti – II

This route (and the previous "The Civilization of the Ancient inhabitants of Veneto – I") leads tourists to the visit of the most important museums and centres related to the civilization which developed in our region from the Iron Age to the Romans: the Venetian one. This route, taking place in the central-North area, starts at the Museo Civico in Montebelluna, containing objects from the necropolis of its Venetian centre (Posmon and S. Maria in Colle), rich in valuable tools which are a testament to the high-level handicraft of the time. The second and the third stages lead to another important Venetian centre, situated in the high valley of the Piave river in Mel: at the Museo Civico in Zumelle you can see the remains both of a house and of a large necropolis of tumulus graves and the objects found within have a great importance from a historic-artistic point of view besides letting us learn about relevant aspects of the daily life of the time. The last stage ends in the heart of Cadore, at the Museo Civico in Pieve di Cadore, where one can see the important and rich findings of the Lagole di Calalzo Venetian Sanctuary.
