I have to mention that I went to the archeological museum in Parma. It's a group of museums for one price...I thought it would never end..so many amazing things to see and so well done...and almost empty as was Parma itself. I loved the Etruscan section at the beginning...or, I should say pre Etruscan...The Terramare civilization in the Po Valley going back to 1650BC...There have been all kinds of finds in the Parma area....villages and burial grounds.
I'm just facinated by ancient ciivilization in Italy...why? who knows. I was dazzled by this museum. They had the usual, Etruscan, Roman, Egyptian includung 2 mummies....then it's on to their art collection oh and as a break unbetween...you have to see The Farnese Theater which if right in the center of the museum. I will add a few things I loved in no particular order.
