Florida State University is celebrating 50 years of discoveries at the archaeological treasure of Cetamura del Chianti with the inauguration of a new museum in the Tuscany region of Italy. Perched on a hilltop in the Chianti Mountains, the Cetamura del Chianti site was once settled by the Etruscans, Romans, and Italians of the Middle Ages.  

Fifty years ago, FSU students were granted a permit to begin excavating the site and have since uncovered a myriad of discoveries ranging from pottery and coins to remnants of a Roman villa and a medieval castle.
