Museo etrusco-romano di Trevignano Romano

The Etruscan-Roman Museum displays approximately 190 archaeological artifacts housed in the Municipal Palace of Trevignano Romano on the northern shore of Lake Bracciano. The collection includes amphoras with Oriental decorations, bronze objects, and items recovered from tombs found across the region.

The museum preserves items from two significant tombs discovered in the 1960s at the Olivetello necropolis containing precious metal objects from the 7th century BC. These finds reveal how wealthy people lived in this region during the early Etruscan period.

The collection displays Etruscan objects such as amphoras with Oriental patterns showing wedding processions with chariots and horses. These vessels and bronze fans reveal how people lived and what mattered to them in this ancient community.

The museum is easily accessible from the lakeside and offers free admission during regular exhibitions with wheelchair access available. Guided tours in Italian and English are available for groups but require advance booking.

A rare warrior tomb from the 8th century BC was built from earthen materials and still contains the original weapons and equipment of the deceased. This is one of few surviving examples of this early burial practice in the area.
