Gaetano Chierici (1819-1886) a Canossa: uno dei primi esempi di parco archeologico

Abstract

The thousand-year-old history of Canossa castle is still unclear in many aspects. In fact, despite the fame of the Rocca, the systematic studies that took into consideration also the data of archives related to it have been few. The renewed interest in archaeological investigations at the Castle has led in recent years to a research project that would fill this gap by systematizing past data. The preliminary results have been encouraging and much new it is possible to say about the research and valorisation activities carried out by the archaeologist Don Gaetano Chierici.
