The Leoopardi Head
View through Europeana Collections
3D model representing the Leopardi Head preserved in Chieti, in the National Archaeological Museum of Abruzzo. The head, which takes its name from its discoverer, was found by Baron Giovanni Battista Leopardi in the necropolis of Farina Cardito in Loreto Aprutino (PE). It has a clear line all around the forehead, as in the steles of Penna Sant’Andrea and Guardiagrele. The holes on the upper side were probably used to fix a headdress similar to that of the Capestrano Warrior. 3D model created as part of the ARS project in collaboration between the Abruzzo Regional Directorate of Museums, CAAM / Disputer department of the G. D'Annunzio University of Chieti, funded by EuroTeCH.
