The "Federico Cesi" Museum in Percile: geology, prehistory, and flint tools in the Lucretili Mountains
Located in Percile, a village in the Monti Lucretili Regional Natural Park, the Prehistoric Natural History Museum is named after Federico Cesi, founder of the Accademia dei Lincei, the world's first modern scientific society, established in 1603. The museum was created by the Park Authority to collect and display evidence and artefacts from the communities that inhabited this territory from the geological eras through to prehistory.
The exhibition layout
The ground floor introduces visitors to geological eras and human evolution through large-scale prints, reconstructions, and charts. The first floor houses the Park's only archaeological collection, featuring flint tools and materials from local prehistoric communities, complemented by educational activities. On the second floor, information panels and audiovisual displays illustrate the Park's geology and flora, providing visitors with a deeper understanding of the landscape they encounter while hiking the trails of the Lucretili Mountains.
