Arezzo - Archeological Museum Museo Archeológico Mecenate

The former Monastery of San Bernardo, built by Olivetan monks in 1547 in the ruins of the amphitheater seating and badly damaged during the Second World War, has since 1934 housed the Museo Archelógico Mecenate. It contains material of the Stone and Bronze Ages and the Etruscan and Roman periods, largely from Arezzo and the surrounding area. Of particular interest are the Etruscan vases and bronzes and the so-called Arretine ware of terra sigillata, the fine decorated pottery which was widely exported from Arezzo during the Imperial period. Other notable items include Etruscan terracotta reliefs, urns, sarcophagi, mirrors, craters, amphorae and Roman mosaics.
