Since 1982 to 2002 I was director of the Archaeological and Ethnological Museum of Modena and at the moment I’m full Professor of Prehistory and Protohistory at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. In 2004 I ended the project for the implementation of the Montale Terramara Park. Before the construction of this Open-air museum I directed and organised several exhibitions, as the one entitled “Terramare. La più antica civiltà padana - Terramare. The most ancient Po Valley Civilization” (Modena,1997). I wrote several scientific publications and I was in charge of various archaeological excavations, as the ones at the terramare settlements of Montale and Gaggio and at Bronze Age necropolis of Casinalbo.
