It is characterized by a wide assortment of weapons and artifacts made of chipped and polished stone, mostly obsidian and flint, and, by other objects made of hard rocks of the &#8220;greenstone&#8221; type, basalt, andesite, porphyrite, granite, etc. An additional batch of materials consists of ancient stone age tools, especially polyhedrons and bifaces of African and Mediterranean origin recovered occasionally from private collectors and national antique stores.<br \/>\nThe second, the <strong>&#8220;Evan Gorga&#8221; Archaeological Collection<\/strong> has 146 vessels exemplifying much of the ceramic production of ancient Italy, from the mid-2nd millennium B.C. to the late 2nd century A.D. The vessels are part of a larger collection of about 40,000 artifacts established by opera singer Evangelista Gennaro Gorga (1865-1957), known for being the first performer of the character of Rodolfo in Puccini&#8217;s Boh\u00e9me at the Teatro Regio in Turin in 1896. The collection also includes some fakes, a usual fact in this type of collection. It was assigned to the University of Cagliari in 1954 by the then Ministry of Education.<\/p>\n<p>In this edition of Open Monuments 2025, the two Collections will be on display in the new location on the second floor of the Exhibition Hall of the Museum Citadel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":82758,"template":"","meta":{"COMUNE":[],"note":[],"indirizzo":[],"accessibilita_mezzi":[],"coordinates":[],"images":[],"adesioni":[],"footnotes":""},"monumento_tipologia":[676],"accessibilita":[],"accessibilita_mezzi":[],"class_list":["post-94137","monumento","type-monumento","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","monumento_tipologia-museo-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti\/94137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/monumento"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti\/94137\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":108411,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti\/94137\/revisions\/108411"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/82758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"monumento_tipologia","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumento_tipologia?post=94137"},{"taxonomy":"accessibilita","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/accessibilita?post=94137"},{"taxonomy":"accessibilita_mezzi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/accessibilita_mezzi?post=94137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
