| It was May 1979, when a photographer, Alberto Solinas, vacationing in the
Molise area, accidentally discovered alongside the site of the new
super-highway Napoli- Vasto under construction and very close to
downtown Isernia, what has been claimed Europe's most important
palae-anthropological discovery.
Helped by the expertise of professor Carlo Peretto of Ferrara
University and doctor Rossella Monaco of Isernia, we will on this internet page expound the palaeolitical ground brought back to light during the
excavations conducted up to now, the flora, the fauna and that these
findings clearly assert that in that period, more than 700.000 years
ago, a primitive Man would live on these Molise's localities. We shall also try to describe the city of Isernia and its Palaeolithic
Museum, how to get there, and above all, show what this scientific
discovery represents to the world of arts and imagination. | |
