BONDENO
Archeology heart of the Bondeno area. On Saturday 6 April, the archaeological museum of Stellata welcomes the event “Archeology in Ferrara and the Ferrara area: new discoveries”. These are the proceedings of the Academy of Sciences of Ferrara edited by Chiara Guarnieri and Giovanna Bucci, which publish the studies of the conference which was held a year ago in Ferrara. The study day, organized in collaboration with the Superintendency of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape for the metropolitan city of Bologna and the provinces of Modena, Reggio Emilia and Ferrara, took stock of some important excavations and new finds, largely still unpublished and carried out over the last few years both in the city of Ferrara, in historic buildings of important importance, and in the province, in mostly rural contexts. “This is an update of our knowledge about the past – explains Daniele Biancardi of the ‘Bondeno cultura’ association – in light of the most recent discoveries, essential for anyone who wants to have a complete look at the current state of research”. The reports presented range between different historical periods: Roman, medieval and Renaissance times and between different places and contexts from Ferrara, Palazzo dei Diamanti, Palazzo Costabili and the lost church of Santa Maria degli Angeli to the province, with Argenta, Copparo and Bondeno. The archaeologists Simone Bergamini and Giulia Guidorzi curated the theme “Along the Gabellus. The Roman age settlement and production nucleus in the Prospera-Quaranta area of Burana-Scortichino (Bondeno). “It is a great honor for us at the Stellata Museum to be able host the first public presentation of the volume – adds Biancardi – in which, in dialogue with Chiara Guarnieri, former SABAP official, and Giovanna Bucci, archaeologist, we will literally “discover the latest discoveries”. Representing the Bondeno Archaeological Group and the Bondeno Cultura Association, Simone Bergamini and Giulia Guidorzi, archaeologist in charge of the construction site, presented the results of the surveys carried out between 2019 and 2020. Now, one year later, the conference proceedings have been published , in Volume 100 of the Proceedings of the Academy of Sciences of Ferrara.
