Messina suddenly reveals a strong cultural role? Maybe it's a bit 'early to be sure but initiatives such as the "Night of Culture on February 14 document a deep desire to discover the city's heritage. Among the events that night was inaugurated on the small but well-structured, Antiquarium Palazzo Zanca.
In some panels depicting various stages of the excavation of the courtyard of City Hall, found the buildings, their history and purpose, and are exposed the most significant pottery fragments and fauna. Inside City Hall says major stratigraphic sequence of materials and structures chronological age to the modern Roman-imperial passing through late antiquity and the Middle Ages. This historical period is the most documented with the discovery of a large urban section of Messina medieval set the crossing of two roads. The excavated areas have returned ceramic tableware, kitchen or for storing food dating from the twelfth to the fifteenth century, some locally produced other import from Puglia and from North Africa to the XII-XIII, the Italian peninsula Iberian and the XIV-XV.

Cogliamo infine l’occasione per aderire all’iniziativa che vorrebbe intitolato l’ Antiquarium all’archeologo recentemente scomparso che ha condotto lo scavo, il compianto Giacomo Scibona .
