Vicolo Aquila Nera ---

Vicolo Aquila Nera is home to one of the most extensive archaeological areas, discovered by chance in the 1980s during the construction of a warehouse for the Angelo Maj Library. The site presents a genuine cross-section spanning a thousand years on a slope occupied from the 5th century B.C. until the 1800s: the oldest traces refer to the settlement of the Golasecchian Celts. In the Middle Ages, the Monastero Nuovo stood in this area and nearby remains of pipes, glazed and graffitied ceramic vessels and furnishings from a pipe workshop have been found.
