The National Archaeological Museum exhibits the findings of the Etruscan city of Spina, which flourished from the 6th to the 3rd Century B.C. and survived until the 1st Century A.D. It was submerged by the water of the Po Delta and became just a legendary name for centuries. But at the beginning of the 20th Century, the first necropolises were brought to light again by land reclamation works. Archaeological excavations have since unearthed thousands of graves. The many objects of Athenian origin bear witness to the close cultural links with Greece.
