The recently set up Archaeological Museum of Montedinove is located in the former Church of the Clarisse, in the beautiful historic city center. The exhibition, among the most interesting of the Piceno area, was inaugurated in 2015 and is completely focused on twenty Picene tombs dating back to the 7th - 6th centuries BC found in the 80s in the Monte Pigna necropolis, in the municipality of Montedinove. The tombs were most likely of the same family group that probably resided in the locale of the nearby town of Case Arpini. The exhibition, equipped with an interesting educational illustrative apparatus, is completely focused on the objects found in the tombs; among these stand out objects of everyday use, weapons and splendid jewelry in bronze, iron and amber. The extremely interesting collection helps clarify some aspects of the Picene culture of Montedinove.

Narra la legenda che l’antico popolo dei Piceni arrivò dalla Sabina (regione montuosa tra Lazio, Umbria e Abruzzo) e si stabilì nel territorio ascolano seguendo il volo di un picchio, uccello sacro a Marte. Qui fondarono la loro capitale, l’odierna Ascoli Piceno, e occuparono tutto il territorio delle vallate del Tronto e del Tesino e, sulla costa, fondarono un grande santuario, dedicato alla dea picena Cupra. Questo itinerario vi condurrà in alcuni dei borghi più belli d’Italia, la cui storia affonda le radici negli antichi villaggi piceni.
