The Archeoclub d’Italia, headquarters of Bisceglie, is pleased to announce the city’s participation in the European Days of Archeology (GEA) 2024, which will be held next 14/15/16 June throughout Europe, an annual event dedicated to promotion of the continent’s archaeological heritage. This year, attention will be focused on the research and documentation work of Prof. Luigi Palmiotti, author of numerous studies on the Dolmen La Chianca area and other archaeological sites in the Bisceglie countryside.
Prof. Luigi Palmiotti has dedicated his life with passion to research and valorization of the archaeological heritage of his hometown, Bisceglie. Founder of the Ethnographic Museum of Bisceglie, Palmiotti played a crucial role in the study of the Dolmen La Chianca, one of the most significant megalithic monuments in Europe, and numerous other archaeological sites in the region. His works have provided new insights into the ancient civilizations that inhabited this area, enriching historical knowledge of Puglia and southern Italy.
