SIGNS FROM PREHISTORY
Italian rock art from the IIPP Archive

In the thirtieth anniversary of the death of Paolo Graziosi, founder and president of the Italian Institute of Prehistory and Protohistory, the IIPP has decided to focus the lens on its founder and on his most significant field of study: Italian prehistoric art.
Through Paolo Graziosi's words and retracing his most important excavations and research in Italy, it was possible to create a virtual journey inside places of extraordinary beauty, which preserve traces of man's most ancient art.
A journey through Italian prehistoric art that makes accessible an extraordinary heritage of images often located in caves that cannot be visited: from the engravings of Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers of Papasidero (Calabria) and Levanzo (Sicily), through the Neolithic paintings of Levanzo and Porto Badisco ( Puglia), up to the engravings of the late Prehistory in Valcamonica (Lombardy). Signs that reach us from the depths of time.
