Archaeology of the Toleriense Area
The Museo Archeologico del Territorio Toleriense presents a diachronic tour as well as exhibitions on the archaeology and palaeontology of the Alta Valle del Sacco area and, in particular, the Toleriense area, extending to the threshold of the industrial period. The term diachronic refers to the tour’s structure across different periods.
Finds and Digital Documentation
The Museo Civico del Territorio Toleriense includes Neolithic stone objects made of flint and obsidian, as well as ceramic finds from La Selva/Colle Rampo on the Sacco River. The Archivio Multimediale researches, examines and digitizes technical and artistic documentation from 1930 to 1960 relating to the engineering and architectural projects carried out by Riccardo Morandi in Colleferro.
Architecture as Part of City History
The Chiesa di Santa Barbara is a modern Romanesque church with a façade designed by Riccardo Morandi and articulated by reinforced-concrete pillars. The long tunnel of Colleferro’s air-raid shelters is part of the cultural heritage and bears witness to the city’s history. The two examples complement the museums with visible architecture and a tangible connection to the history of the place. This allows you to view design, materials and city history in different forms.
