This museum, located right in the heart of the village center or palazzo, is filled with treasures/artifacts from the Etruscan period along with paintings, coins and furniture from the 1st century through the 18th.
It also houses an Egyptian mummy and sarcophagi.
The highlight, the most impressive thing in this museum is a 5th century BC circular bronze chandelier which hangs from the ceiling.
With 16 large oil containers, this chandelier weighs 58 kg. Apparently, according to information provided at the museum, a local farmer discovered the chandelier while plowing his fields.
This very unique chandelier is a rare example of intricate ETRUSCAN metalwork.
