The show

On the bicentenary of the birth of Don Gaetano Chierici , after an important international scientific conference dedicated to the many facets of his figure as a priest, scientist, museologist, teacher, patriot and animator of cultural associations, a temporary exhibition focuses attention on the method of his archaeological work.

Starting from a humanistic culture , Chierici knew how to combine it with a great competence in scientific disciplines: his working method, multidisciplinary, applies to archaeological research skills borrowed from geology (stratigraphy), anthropology ("other" cultures, anthropometry), botany and zoology (paleobotany and paleozoology). Only by proceeding with this wide-ranging vision is it possible to interpret and revive the most ancient human cultures.

The exhibition includes a Reggio Emilia edition, at Palazzo dei Musei in Reggio Emilia, and, subsequently, a Roman one, at the Museum of Civilizations (MuCiv) in Rome, co-promoter of the initiative, which will rearrange the exhibition in the Prehistoric Museum. Ethnographic “Luigi Pigorini” at the Eur.

The exhibition exhibits valuable artifacts , which come out of the collections of the Pigorini Museum , conceived and created by an authoritative colleague and contemporary of Chierici, putting them in resonance with those of the Reggio Museum, to address the theme of the comparison between human cultures but also that of the archaeological context, that of archaeological cartography and that of stratigraphy. The exhibition will be accompanied by educational and dissemination activities aimed at audiences of all ages.
