The 'father' of Sardinian archaeologists has been named the cultural center a few steps from the nuraghe, where events, concerts and exhibitions (permanent and temporary) of archeology and crafts alternate in an inimitable scenario.

The prehistoric origins of Barumini are also witnessed by another trilobed nuraghe, in the center of the village, dating back to the XVI century BC, the Nuraxi and 'Cresia (' church nuraghe ') come to light during the restoration of Casa Zapata, splendid residence of Aragonese barons (arrived in Sardinia in 1323), built in the middle of 1500, rare example of Hispanic civil architecture of Renaissance inspiration. Since 2006, the noble palace, together with garden and courtyard, are home to a museum pole, which houses two towers of the nuragic monument, visible from above thanks to suspended walkways and transparent floors.

Modena. Unesco World Heritage Site - Italy
Geography
Modena lies on the Pianura Padana, and is bounded by the two rivers Secchia and Panaro, both affluents of the Po River. Their presence is symbolized by the Two Rivers Fountain in the city's center, by Giuseppe Graziosi. The city is connected to the Panaro by the Naviglio channel.
The Apennines ranges begin some 10 km from the city, to the south.
The commune is divided into four circoscrizioni. These are:
* Centro storico (Historical Center, San Cataldo)
* Crocetta (San Lazzaro-East Modena, Crocetta)
* Buon Pastore (Buon Pastore, Sant'Agnese, San Damaso)
* San Faustino (S.Faustino-Saliceta San Giuliano, Madonnina-Quattro Ville)
Modena has a temperate climate. It experiences hot, humid summers with little rainfall and cold, damp wintersAncient times
The territory around Modena (Latin: Mutina, Etruscan: Muoina) was inhabited by the Villanovans in the Iron Age, and later by Ligurian tribes, Etruscans, and the Gaulish Boii (the settlement itself being Etruscan). Although the exact date of its foundation is unknown, it is known that it was already in existence in the 3rd century BC, for in 218 BC, during Hannibal's invasion of Italy, the Boii revolted and laid siege to the city. Livy described it as a fortified citadel where Roman magistrates took shelter. The outcome of the siege is not known, but the city was most likely abandoned after Hannibal's arrival. Mutina was refounded as a Roman colony in 183 BC, to be used as a military base by Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, causing the Ligurians to sack it in 177 BC. Nonetheless, it was rebuilt, and quickly became the most important centre in Cisalpine Gaul, both because of its strategic importance and because it was on an important crossroads between Via Aemilia and the road going to Verona.

Cerveteri and Tarquinia - Italy Unesco World Heritage Site
Cerveteri is a town and comune of the northern Lazio, in the province of Rome. Originally known as Caere (also Caisra and Cisra), it is famous for a number of Etruscan necropoleis that include some of the best Etruscan tombs anywhere.Tarquinii (Etruscan Tarchnal) is said to have been already a flourishing city when Demaratus of Corinth brought in Greek workmen. It was the chief of the twelve cities of Etruria, and appears in the earliest history of Rome as the home of two of its kings, Tarquinius Priscus and Tarquinius Superbus. From it many of the religious rites and ceremonies of Rome are said to have been derived, and even in imperial times a collegium of sixty haruspices continued to exist there. The people of Tarquinii and Veii attempted to restore Tarquinius Superbus to the throne after his expulsion.

Sardinia: Santu Antine Nuraghe | Italia Slow Tour
The Santu Antine Nuraghe (Sardinia, province of Sassari) dates from 1250/1300 B.C. and it was built on the ruins of a pre-existing nuraghe! Rounded, made of porous basalt, we can consider it a regular fortress. Like all the nuraghe, it had a function of control of the area. You know, nuraghes were the residences of the chieftains, but above all they were fortified structures, built by those who had power in the community, the exact equivalent of a medieval castle.
