Museo civico aufidenate (Italian for Civic Museum of Aufidena, an ancient Roman town) is an archaeology museum in Castel di Sangro, Province of L'Aquila (Abruzzo). [1]
History
The museum was established in 1898, under the name Museo Aufidenate, by the then mayor of Castel di Sangro, Colonel Clemente Marchionna. In 1924, many exhibits were stolen, but the museum remained open and was enriched with new exhibits. The bombing during World War II in 1943-44 forced its closure; there was not much damage to the infrastructure, but the exhibits remained unattended for a long time, followed by numerous lootings.[2]
