Description
The archaeological area of the so-called Great Veronese Valleys, that is the lower province of Verona shows that this part of Northern Italy was one of the most important crossroads in continental Europe even during the Bronze Age. In fact, it easily connects the northern part of the Alps with the eastern Mediterranean world, as well as the east-west routes. Here the cultures of the embaked villages flourished during the Middle and Late Bronze Age. The settlements were characterized by dwellings surrounded by an earthwork strengthened on the inside by buttresses, and encircled by a wide moat supplied with running water. These settlements characterized the plain of Verona between the 14th and 13th cent. B.C. and had important necropolises. These are the remains of two aristocratic men and a woman: although the grave goods are scarce, these were the leaders of their communities, a fact evidenced by the two swords for the men and the bronze pins for the woman.

This is such an incredible photo Sandra, and I very much enjoyed the information behind it that you provided. It really is something how perfectly they are preserved. Your point is well made about them obviously being leaders in their community.

Visiting your gallery is like attending a university level class. A wonderful image and fascinating information. It certainly gives the lie to those whose always felt that bronze age Europeans were uncivilized barbarians.
