MUV - Museum and Documentation Center of the Villanovan civilisation, housed in the former barn of the rural complex of Casa Sant'Anna in Villanova di Castenaso, stands precisely in the place where, between 1853 and 1856, the Bolognese archaeologist Count Giovanni Gozzadini discovered and identified the traces of the most ancient phase of Etruscan civilization, which developed between the beginning of the 1st millennium BC. (Iron Age) and the last decades of the 8th century BC, until then unknown in Italy, to which Gozzadini himself decided to give the name "Villanoviana".
