«l’ospizio di quiescenza delle povere pietre...»
Ancora sul Museo Provinciale di Torcello e i suoi misteri: i cataloghi ottocenteschi
abstract
The discovery in the Torcello Museum Archiv of an old catalogue copy written by the first director Nicolò Battaglini between 1879 and 1887 puts an end to the endless discussions on the provenance of many archaeological items of the Museum. Now we know for certain that a large number of the greek pottery and the small etruscan bronzes of the Museum were found in the islands of the venetian lagoon and in the land near the old city of Altino.
