The association "Arc.a Monte Bibele" is managing Monterenzio and Monte Bibele Museum and Archaeological area. The museum exhibition is focused on the reconstruction of two houses — one inside and one outside the museum — of the Etrusco-Celtic settlement of Monte Bibele (4th-3rd centuries BC). The halls collect also finds from the votive deposits and necropoles of Monte Bibele and Monterenzio Vecchio; with a tactile path with panels in Braille available to all visitors. One of the most exciting finds of the museum is the solar dial, an Etruscan astronomical instrument used in the settlement for foundation rites.
The walk around Monte Bibele archaeological and natural area shows many fascinating evidences such as the two houses reconstructed on the archeological site of the actual village, ancient streets, sacred areas, a stonework well, an orchid trail, and so on.
The area is representative of the unique Italian example of the alliance between Celts and Etruscan, who, together, tried to oppose the Roman advance.
