10.15 \u00a0Guided tour to \u00a0the Parco Archeologico e Museo all\u2019aperto della Terramara di Montale <\/b>(Archaeological Park and Montale Terramare Open-air Museum) a \u00a023,000 m2 area including an archaeological area and an open-air museum. The archaoelogical area is protected in a closed structure and the pits can be visited to personally “read” the land for traces of over four centuries of village life. Lying adjacent to the archaeological area, the open-air museum is a full-sized reconstruction of a part of the village, comprising the moat, the embankments with defensive palisades, the gateway to the village, and two large dwellings reconstructed philologically thanks to the data gathered from the excavations. The Terramare were Bronze Age villages that sprang up in Emilia and in the central region of the Po valley around the middle of the second millennium B.C. The settlements were built with artificial fortifications, generally composed of high embankments reinforced with wood palisades and surrounded by moats.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
