"Filippo Ferrari" Archaeological Museum

The “Filippo Ferrari” Archaeological Museum is located in the historic center of Guardiagrele, in the province of Chieti. The Museum was inaugurated in 1999 and is housed in six rooms of the municipal building, formerly a former Franciscan convent. The Museum was dedicated to Filippo Ferrari, who in 1913 discovered the necropolis of Comino and started excavating it. The collection is mostly composed of funerary objects found in the tumulus tombs of the necropolis. Among the most important finds, the “Stele di Guardiagrele” stands out, a limestone slab with reproductions of the warrior from the 7th century BC. The museum collection also consists of a medieval section of antique dealers. The antiquarium houses artifacts and finds from the main churches of Guardiagrele. Among the most characteristic are the two stone lions, coming from the church of San Nicola, and the limestone capital. The Museum is home to temporary exhibitions and guided tours and workshops held by the "Archeoclub" of Guardiagrele.
