The religion in the Proto-historic Veneto – I

This route leads tourists to discover the culture of the ancient inhabitants of the Veneto through one of the most important aspects of their life: religion. By seeing the consecrated objects in the biggest Sanctuaries of the region (Piazzetta S. Giacomo in Vicenza, S. Pietro Montagnon in Montegrotto and in the sacred areas in Este) one can discover the type of divinities they believed in, their cultural practices, and the typology of the believers who used to attend such places of worship. In this way we can reconstruct a very important aspect of the civilization which developed before the Romans.
