Found by the men of the Guardia di Finanza before they ended up in the United States, entrusted to the technicians of the Superintendence for Southern Etruria who restored them and are now ready to enrich the heritage of the Castle of Santa Severa in the province of Rome. This is the fate of four painted slabs from the Etruscan-Archaic period, which date back to the last decades of the sixth century BC, presented this morning in the Palazzo Patrizi-Clementi in Rome, seat of the Lazio Superintendence. The discovery is the result of an investigation carried out by the financiers of the Provincial Command of Rome, which culminated with the seizure of the slabs in Cerveteri in 2019 as part of the activities that the Corps carries out to protect the state property and state assets. “These are important discoveries that make us shed new light on this form of artistic expression which is very important from a geographical point of view”, explained superintendent Margherita Eichberg, adding that “the slabs were unrecognizable, they even looked like tiles. In this case. However, we understood that it was something very important: the recovery is in line with a series of enhancement initiatives that have been carried out by the Superintendency and beyond over the last few years. the studies we are producing but also showing them in their context “. This means that the works will be exhibited” in Santa Severa in the regional-owned Castle which will have an Etruscan museum dedicated to our works to the contents of our Antiquarium (the Antiquarium Pyrgi ed) to which these slabs and the finds that will be a worthy frame will also be added “, he remarked the Eichberg. Presented on the occasion of the first of the European Archeology Days 2022, the slabs constitute a heritage of great value due to their integrity. The condition of the fragments, however, required a long and elaborate conservation intervention entrusted by the Superintendency to Antonio Giglio, who had already successfully collaborated in the recovery of numerous other finds of the same type. slabs already found in recent years thanks to archaeological excavations, international seizures, acts of patronage and cultural diplomacy operations, which have been presented on several occasions by the Superintendency, as part of the exhibitions in Santa Severa (‘Terracotta painting. Myth and image in the painted plates of Cerveteri ‘, 2018), in Rome (‘ Colors of the Etruscans. Terracotta treasures at Centrale Montemartini ‘, Musei Capitolini – Centrale Montemartini, 2019-2020) and in Venice (‘ Massimo Campigli and the Etruscans. A pagan happiness’ , Palazzo Franchetti, 2021). The whole collection, therefore, will find its definitive location in the renewed exhibition of the Antiquarium of Pyrgi, which the Superintendency is setting up in the spaces provided by the Lazio Region inside the Castle of Santa Severa.
