pre-protohistoric site with 150 years of research
The first archaeological finds in Campo Pianelli date back to 1855-56
The resumption of research occurred a century later, first thanks to the accidental discovery of 3 tombs between 1963 and 1969, then in 1973-74 when new excavations brought to light another 21 tombs and made it possible to study the stratigraphy of the site.
In 1982, a new excavation campaign aimed at investigating a large area of the deposit, focusing more on the inhabited area than on the necropolis, made it possible to clarify the connections between prehistoric and protohistoric layers.
Finally, in 2012, a third campaign, carried out in the center of the plateau, made it possible to better define the stratigraphy of the site and to recognize the remains of a hut from the recent Bronze Age.

The reconstruction is very well done and meticulously maintained. There are also many signs describing the history of these places.
