The show

On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the UNESCO transnational serial site " Prehistoric pile-dwelling sites of the Alps ", the Municipality of Varese exhibits the results of research conducted from the 90s of the last century up to today in the settlements of the Varese area: the Isolino Virginia and Bodio Centrale in Lake Varese and the Sabbione in Lake Monate.


The exhibition, divided into seven sections, shows visitors the variations that characterized the environment from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age by means of the reconstruction of stilts, and the exhibition of tools that allowed man to build houses and of finds of daily life of local populations. The findings of the "Malpensa storage room" will also be presented to the public, for the first time since the restoration, belonging to an era that is no longer that of stilts, but which heralds, in many respects, the birth of a new world: that of the Celtic culture of Golasecca.


The partly interactive exhibition includes some audio and video projections and a panel on which the visitor can have the main information on the archaeological sites. The reconstructions of the interiors of houses and a Bronze Age plow will allow visitors to get to know the lifestyle of our ancestors up close, with the aim of enhancing the historical and cultural heritage that characterizes our territory.
