The Antiquarium was established in 2004 in the civic tower of the municipality of Loreo, with the purpose of promoting the culture and the historical-artistic traditions of Loreo and of the Po Delta by creating a tourist attraction. The most significant part of the collection displays the finds discovered during the excavation carried out between 1981 and 1990 in the country villa of Corte Cavanella by the regional board for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of the Veneto region.
