Montalto Dora
Montalto Dora is a municipality in the Province of Turin. Its territory holds the Lake Pistono Archaeological Park, which includes an exhibition space at piazza IV Novembre 3 and lies within the Ivrea Five Lakes Nature Park [1].
The Lake Pistono Archaeological Park
The park preserves finds dating back around 6,500 years and includes a corner of a Neolithic pile-dwelling village, rebuilt full-size between the woods and the lake, with reproductions visitors can touch [1]. The park's activities are run by archaeologists who explain the ancient finds held in the exhibition space to visitors [1].
Educational activities
Among the park's offerings is the "Litika" workshop, devoted to discovering the differences between various types of rock and how they could be used to make axes, arrowheads and sickle blades [1]. For Family Day at the Museum on 11 October, the park offered a single ticket combining a museum visit, entry to the reconstructed Neolithic village and the "Litika" workshop, with two starting slots, at 10:30am and 3pm, from the exhibition space at piazza IV Novembre 3 [1]. Taking part in the activities requires mandatory booking, by phone, text message, WhatsApp or email to the contacts given by the park [1].
