National Archaeological Museum of Italic Peoples "Amedeo Maiuri"

The Museum, established in 2024, is housed in the splendid historic home of the Marchesi Campanari Palace in the heart of the city of Veroli. Linked to the aristocratic Campanari family, remembered by inscriptions dated 1612 on the entrance portal and windows, the building underwent progressive enlargements and monumentalization over the centuries until its current appearance.

A large section of the museum is devoted to the account of the life of the Italic peoples, according to the sources Ernici, Volscians and Latins, who inhabited a part of southern Latium in the period before the final submission to Roman control. A further thematic itinerary focuses on the figure of Amedeo Maiuri, a celebrated 20th-century archaeologist born in Veroli in 1886, after whom the museum is named, who was appointed Superintendent of Antiquities of Campania and Molise in 1924. A number of artifacts from Naples and Pompeii recount highlights of the archaeologist's 30-year career, such as the excavation of the sanctuary of the goddess Marica at the mouth of the Garigliano River near Minturno, in the territory of the Aurunco people, and the protection, restoration and dissemination activities that Maiuri pioneered in the Vesuvian area and Pompeii in particular.

The Museum, which has been affected by major funding and is in the process of completion, is a constant laboratory for experimentation and solutions to improve the accessibility of the collections.
