La Situla di Caravaggio. Un capolavoro inaspettato

The situla of Caravaggio was found in August 2013 during some preventive archeology works, within a significant necropolar context dated to the Bronze Age. Among the tombs of the Bronze Age, in a completely unexpected and surprising way, a precious bronze situla was found decorated with embossing and chisel with theories of cloaked men attributable to the Art of Situlae. The presence of the situla, datable to the XNUMXth century BC and therefore more recent by more than half a century compared to the necropolis, is rather enigmatic: perhaps there was an Iron Age necropolis, at a higher level than the Bronze Age necropolis, completely destroyed due to the total removal of the land.
