Thank you for wanting to benefit Excavations in Chianti. Donors like you have made a major difference by—

• Funding student fellowships and internships;
• Supporting student travel;
• Underwriting three museum exhibitions in Italy including the publications associated with each show;
• Providing for laboratory research by distinguished scientists; and
• Making possible crucial logistic support for difficult excavations such as the Etruscan wells

Now we are close to realizing the dream of opening a new museum in Gaiole, Italy featuring the Cetamura finds.  In the coming year our fund raising goal is $50,000, to be applied especially  to 3 major aspects of the development of the museum displays:

(1) to support students and scholars in researching and preparing interpretative material explaining the finds for the public, and,

 (2) to provide cabinets and other items to insure the safety and security of the items on display. 

  (3) to organize and stage a conference in the museum or in a virtual museum featuring the latest research on the massive amount of evidence obtained from the Cetamura Wells about the environment and biodiversity in the ancient Etruscan and Roman landscapes of Chianti.
