The archaeological area of Saint-Martin-de-Corléans in Aosta is a multi-layered site whose historical traces range from the Romanesque church, built on Roman and Gallic remains, to Copper Age sanctuaries and consecration rituals dating back to the end of the Neolithic period. The cultic ploughing, the alignments of wooden poles and anthropomorphic stelae - works of great ancient statuary of worldwide significance - are prehistoric testimonies that make this place an archaeological deposit of international importance and accompany the visitor on a journey through time characterised by a strong emotional impact and a very high cultural value. After a meticulous and painstaking renovation, refurbishment and extension, Superintendent Cristina De La Pierre, on Friday 10 November, inaugurated the new layout complete with exhibition showcases, scenographic reconstructions, multimedia equipment and an immersive room.
