During the Week of Culture, an exhibition of different materials will be held in Massafra (Taranto), documenting the funeral ritual adopted by the people who lived in a Greek settlement, just a few miles away from the Greek polis of Taranto. The settlement was active between the sixth and third century, B.C. and subject of a campaign of excavations in the years 1980-1981, carried out by the regional board of the ministry of cultural heritage and environmental conservation. An important and relevant group of votive terra-cotta, among which prevails the type of the reclining deceased, complements the exhibition.
