who we are
a very unusual...
...familiar-management museum



Pozzo della Cava is the only national monument in Italy discovered, restored
and directed by the owners' family.

Although no contribution are taken for its works, maintenance and promotion, Pozzo della Cava
is today one of the most visited and appreciated museums in Orvieto*.

In the last twenty years we met a lot of difficulties for research, studies and works to bring to light all the archaeological finds and to promote them.
But now, we are very happy for the results of our sacrifices.
