Veronica Cicolani, « La sistematizzazione dei tempi preistorici attraverso le pratiche museali e le collezioni italiane del Musée d’Archéologie nationale di Saint-Germain-en-Laye », HAL-SHS : archéologie, ID : 10670/1.k04xc4
The report focuses on the relationship between the Golasecca culture and the Parisian Museum d’Antiquités nationales through the work of Alexandre Bertrand (1820-1902), the first director of the museum, and of Gabriel de Mortillet (1821-1898), eminent prehistorian and systematizer of European prehistoric chronology. Both in contact with the early Italian prehistoric scholars contributed to the birth of prehistoric disciplines as well as to the study and interpretation of the Golasecca culture. Between 1866 and 1893, through exchanges, excavations, acquisitions and donations made with their most eminent Italian colleagues, artefacts of the Golasecca culture continued to be collected at the Musée des Antiquités nationales, which today holds the largest collection abroad.
