One of the most beautiful museums of Ischia is “Villa Arbusto”. Located in the town of Lacco Ameno once a private villa of the famous publisher and film producer Angelo Rizzoli, promoter of Ischia tourism.
The museum gives you the opportunity to discover from prehistory to the Roman colonization. On the lower floor there is a geological section which explains how the volcanic events affected the life of the people in Ischia. There are findings of the middle and last Neolithic period from ceramic and rock materials, dating from the bronze and iron age. One of the most important discoveries were made on the digs of Giorgio Buchner who found the antique cup “Coppa di Nestore”.
