The exhibits illustrate the cultural and social richness of the period prominent figures buried in sumptuously decorated hypogea and accompanied by elaborate grave goods Among the most representative objects are polychrome and plastic vases characterized by a distinctive deep pink color and decorated with applied figurines a gold diadem decorated with movable floral motifs The materials come from the collections of important institutions in Puglia such as the National Archaeological Museum in Canosa di Puglia the National Archaeological Museum in Taranto and the Museum of Santa Scolastica in Bari there is space for artifacts recovered during operations to combat the illicit trafficking of cultural goods conducted by the Carabinieri Command for the Protection of Cultural Heritage Forms and Colors of Pre-Roman Italy aims to be not only a journey through the history of Canosa and the culture of the Daunians but an opportunity to reflect on the importance of the protection and enhancement of cultural heritage The international project aims to offer evidence of Italy’s commitment to sharing its cultural roots with the world with the appointment at Castel Sant’Angelo touches a new stage in a project that began a year ago “The exhibition tells the story of an Italy still little known to the general public contaminations and dialogues between different cultures reminding us of the importance of confrontation and openness to the other to build a more aware and inclusive society.” “This project constitutes a virtuous example of cultural diplomacy and how the telling of our heritage combined with the promotion of the territories that have produced and today preserve this wealth capable of strengthening our influence on the main global geopolitical tables,” says Filippo La Rosa Deputy Director General for Public and Cultural Diplomacy MAECI and Central Director for the Promotion of Italian Language and Culture Abroad Mayor of Canosa di Puglia highlights how “the extraordinary archaeological heritage Canosa has continues to make people talk about itself which with joy is increasingly aware that the road taken to make our historical and cultural riches known is the right one.” THERE'S a city in Europe that's been likened to Rome for several years but is considerably easier on the bank balance The small European town is known locally as "Little Rome" because it was built on seven hills Set in Puglia, Canosa di Puglia is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in Italy Because of its long history, which dates back to 6000 BC, the Italian town is home to ancient tombs and cathedrals There are plenty of things to do in the small Pugliese town including Il Parco Archeologico di San Leucio - an ancient archaeological site The ancient site is also accompanied by an archaeological museum called the National Archeological Museum which is home to relics and artefacts of the area Inside the museum, holidaymakers will find even more ancient artefacts as well as al fresco paintings on the ceilings While there are similar tourist attractions in both Rome and Canosa di Puglia Sun Online Travel has found hotel rooms in the centre of Canosa di Puglia for £30 per person per night at the start of the peak season. with many costing at least £75 per person per night Canosa di Puglia is a one-hour drive from Bari - the region's capital Ryanair operates direct flights from London to Bari in December for as little as £23 each way With a flight time of two hours and 40 minutes, holidaymakers will arrive in the Bari in less time than it takes to get to Athens in Greece There are plenty of reasons for Brit holidaymakers to visit Bari in its own right too To delve into the city's history head to Bari Vecchia - the city's historical centre Bari Vecchia is a maze of narrow alleyways Among the 40 churches in Bari Vecchia holidaymakers should make a beeline for Basilica di San Nicola (the church of Saint Nicholas) where the remains of Saint Nicholas are said to be buried too Other attractions include the pasta nonnas - a group of grandmothers who make pasta from scratch on a series of wooden tables on Strada Arco Basso Set in northeastern Italy and proximity to the Veneto Prosecco region Because of these similarities, the small Italian city has been compared to Venice for many years And there's one English city that tourists can’t stop comparing to Venice Meanwhile, this European city not far from Bucharest has been named the world's cheapest holiday destination - with £1.60 beers Our journalists strive for accuracy but on occasion we make mistakes. For further details of our complaints policy and to make a complaint please click this link: thesun.co.uk/editorial-complaints/ there's a name we haven't heard in quite some time There was a time when Fiorentina midfielder Gaetano Castrovilli was considered among Italy's brightest prospects the boy from Canosa di Puglia began his professional career with nearby Bari before finding his way to Fiorentina via Cremonese After putting up a respectable eight goals and five assists during his first two seasons with the Viola, Castrovilli was valued at some €25 million by Transfermarkt. The future seemed bright for Fiorentina's midfield prodigy thanks to a spate of injuries that included multiple knee surgeries (including one last August) Castrovilli's once-promising career has been waylaid over the past few seasons Since returning to the pitch on April 21st, the 27-year-old has scored one goal in 139 minutes for the Viola. While that's probably not the prodigious return to action he envisioned, it does come at an opportune time. With his contract set to expire on June 30th, simply proving he's healthy should give Castrovilli innumerable options next season, one of which might include linking up with Daniele De Rossi and Roma Roma and Lazio will tussle for Castrovilli's signature this summer Coming on a Bosman transfer and his prior contract paying him approximately €2.5 million Castrovilli is tailor-made for a budget-conscious club like Roma However, if things break right for Roma over the next three weeks, perhaps Castrovilli will be the free cherry on top of the Giallorossi's Federico Chiesa Champions League-funded sundae and more suitors will emerge from the woodwork over the next few months Castrovilli could be a shrewd addition to De Rossi's attack next season I’m not complaining: I love the

"I want to clarify that the choice of all the subjects represented in the composition is the result of a free artistic interpretation dictated by the need to tell the story of devotion to the Saints," local newspaper La Repubblica quoted Lomuscio as saying stressing that they have nothing to do with the outcome as they "expressly asked" not to portray them the artist has expressed willingness to rework the painting before it goes back on display Nick writes about politics, law, health, entertainment, and pop culture, among others.
