On Saturday, September 26th, at 4:00 PM , a special event dedicated to discovering the remains of ancient Placentia and the value of their preservation. A tour for adults and a workshop for children and teens will offer the opportunity to learn about what time has preserved, but also what has been lost, reflecting on the importance of research, protection, and valorization of archaeological heritage.

Cost: €2. Limited seating.

Adult Course

Did you know that many archaeological remains of ancient Placentia have been lost? A special tour will guide participants to discover what hasn't survived and how, thanks to research and study of sources, even what has disappeared can continue to tell the city's story. At the end of the tour, you can taste mulsum , the spiced wine handed down from ancient sources.

In keeping with the theme of the 2026 European Heritage Days , "Protecting Heritage. Renewing, Resisting, Reinventing," attention will focus on several important lost archaeological sites, including the finds from the Po River and the large triclinium mosaic discovered in Piazza Duomo in the 19th century and subsequently lost.

The visit will also offer an opportunity to reflect on the role of the Roman Section of the Civic Museums of Palazzo Farnese and, more generally, on the importance of the study, conservation, and dissemination of cultural heritage as fundamental tools for understanding and safeguarding our heritage.

Path for children and teenagers

Alongside the adult tour, children and young people will be guided through the mosaic floors preserved in the Roman section, observing their decorations, materials, and construction techniques.

What you learn during the visit will then become the starting point for the workshop, during which each participant will be able to create their own mosaic using real marble tiles and mortar , inspired by the splendid floors exhibited in the museum.
