musei
Aion Cultura operates in several sectors related to Italy's cultural resources. Joining together experts in archaeology, art history, ancient history and environment, the organization offers a series of services created for persons in these professions but also for schools and ordinary people interested in these studies.
Didactic programs
Aion Cultura offers study programs for every scolastic level and for groups of interested individuals relating to the discovery of our cultural resources - archaeological, historical, artistic and environmental - for a specific area or city through interdisciplinary projects and activities.
These are divided into four categories: museums and archaeological sites, libraries and archives, experimental archaeology and special seminars. All activities provide ample opportunity for experimentation, practical application and enjoyment.
Cultural Tourism
Aion Cultura's experts organize and conduct archaeological excursions, trips and tours to discover the extraordinary and magnificent sites and rich museums our territory has to offer.
Archaeology and Archaeo-Tours
"Hands on" archaeology is of particular interest to Aion, the members of which actively participate on archaeological excavations at different sites in Tuscany and Umbria. In this participatory context we also organize Archaeological Programs Abroad for school-age children.
It is possible to book visits to a variety of sities of archaeological interest in and around Cortona.
Tours are conducted by professional archaeologists and include visits to Melon I and II (monumental tumulae dating from the 7th-6th c. B.C.), to the Angori and Pitagora Tanelle (2nd c. B.C. tombs), the Melone Francois in Camucia and, within the city, the ancient walls and city gates, the cistern in Via Guelfa and Palazzo Cerulli's etruscan arc.
Museums and Cultural Parks
Aion's associates are particulary well prepared in the organization of cultural itineraries, special events, didactic programs as well as museum management, preparation of exhibitions with related scientific material and promotion of archaeological sites.
We also organize professional preparitory courses for those wishing to enter into the working world of cultural management.
You could find us at the Museum of Accademia Etrusca (0575 637235) or at the Diocesan Museum (0575 62830).
In this one, from the 19th of April through September Aion will offer guided tours daily at 10,30 and 12,00 a.m.
Cortona
Cortona, with its two museums, innumerable churches and spectacular views up and down Medieval streets is home to the offices of Aion Cultura and offers visitors an ample choice of cultural pursuits.
The remains of the Etruscan and Roman civilisations are scattered throughout the city and surrounding areas (including the extraordinary sixth century B.C. tumulae) as well as in the Museum of Accademia Etrusca, while traces of the Renaissance period can be seen in the Fortezza del Girifalco, which dominates the heights of Mount St. Egidio.
