Spring 2014, events at the Terramara Park of Montale were dedicated to the 10th birthday were a success. Those attracted 4,300 people raising the total number of visitors since 2004 to 170,000.
September 14, the Park opens the Autumn season with a program of events and demonstrations of ancient techniques which the inhabitants of the terramare were very experienced at, as the archaeological finds prove.
Anything but primitive, the people of the terramare made baskets of willow’s branches, smelted skilfully bronze, weaved linen and wool, worked leather, shaped elaborated pots and produced efficient tools with wood and horn.
