The Archaeological Site of Pescale

A journey of discovery begins amidst an unspoilt natural environment and traces of an ancient past.
Amid beauty and an archaeological heritage.

This is one of the major archaeological sites in the Modena area, from where the Secchia river and the countryside around Reggio can be admired.
Following systematic excavations, carried out on several occasions by Ferdinando Malavolti between 1937 and 1942, a settlement was found at Pescale which flourished from the end of the 5th to the middle of the 3rd millennium BC.
The settlement was located on a promontory characterised by steep cliffs overlooking the Secchia river, in a naturally defended position.
This dominant and favourable location explains the longevity of the settlement. In fact, several Neolithic cultures succeeded one another here: the Fiorano culture, the 'square-mouthed vases’ and Lagozza culture.
The settlement also continued to thrive between the Neolithic and Early Bronze Ages. The village consisted of ellipsoidal huts with walls and a wooden roof plastered in clay.
Inside, the remains of hearths and artefacts such as pots, millstones and grindstones, bone tools and terracotta spindles for spinning have been found.

In the external area, waste from the working of flint and obsidian, pits for
storing foodstuffs, and a series of outdoor hearths have been uncovered.

The more sporty-minded can reach the top of Rupe del Pescale, on the Modenese side, by means of a small bridge over the Pescarolo ditch.
A path lined with a chestnut picket fence leads up to the top of the plateau, where signs narrate the story of the archaeological site and where a Neolithic village once stood.

Da From here you can enjoy a wonderful view of the river and its valley.
