Melfi (Basilicata). Castle. Interior. Museum. The Castle of Melfi houses the National Archaeological Museum of the Melfese, however several rooms are interesting in themselves. The exhibition is located in the two raised floors, the first one is accessed through a large, long and steep flight of stairs, the culmination of which is a painting by an unknown author, with the inscription "Deiparae virgini urbis et arcis tutelari" (The Virgin Mother, protector of the city and fortress). The archaeological evidences found in the Vulture area concern the populations of prehistory, of the Daunian, Samnite, Roman, Byzantine and Norman periods. The museum opened in 1976 and is organized in three rooms. The first two exhibit weapons, material ceramics from the Bronze and Iron Age. The third collects finds from the Neolithic, the Bronze Age and the Iron Age found in the Lucanian towns of Lavello and Banzi. Various paintings belonging to the Doria and the Habsburgs are also exhibited. #museum #interior #melfi #basilicata #archaeological #flightofstairs #virginmother #fortress #vulture #prehistory #daunia #sanniti #bronzeage #ironage #neolithic #lavello #travel #traveling #visiting #instatravel #travelling #tourism #instatraveling #mytravelgram #travelgram #travelingram #massimopistis #sovVERSIvi #ilmiolibro #estremisti Information for the purchase of my new book "Estremisti!": the book at a cost of 12.00 euros (120 pages), can be ordered in bookstores (ISBN 978-88-591-5719-9 - Publisher Aletti) or online on the page http://www.alettieditore.it/emersi/2019/pistis.html from the link below. https://www.instagram.com/p/B7JxLUToo-V/?igshid=1p69b0a68hjs0
