The third room is dedicated to the remains of a child’s tomb datable to around the 6th century BC. The presence of a cowrie – in other words, a shell used as a jewel – and a typical pendant with small horses suggests that this was the tomb of a young girl. In fact, these items were used as exclusively female amulets.
The municipality of Fermo strongly desired this museum and it represents a virtuous example of how the history of the past can be immediately returned to the present. The care and speed with which the project was carried out after the excavations, with the classification, the refurbishment of the institution and the museum layout, have prevented millennia of history from remaining sealed in dusty and forgotten warehouses and deposits.
