This volume presents the proceedings of the conference “L’arte rupestre dell’eta dei metalli nella penisola italiana: localizzazione dei siti in rapporto al territorio, simbologie e possibilita interpretative” that took place in Pisa at the Cantiere delle Navi di Pisa under the aegis of the Soprintendenza Archeologica della Toscana and of the University of Pisa on 15th June 2015. The addressed issues were related to the Post-Pleistocene rock art along the Apennine ridge; in recent years more and more evidence has been identified, which is different from the magnificent evidence found in the Alps such as, for example, the well-known Monte Bego and Val Camonica. This evidence, despite various and peculiar features, can be all related to the iconographic field whose main expressions are anthropomorphic figures, weapons, daggers, halberds and several other symbols, all similarly stylised. A peculiarity of these manifestations is their location in small shelters inappropriate for habitation or in places suitable for supervising mountain and territory roads, bearing comparison to evidence from Western Mediterranean coastal areas. An interpretative possibility has emerged: these sites could have been not only ceremonial places, but also spaces linked to the socio-economic fields or perhaps to the power of communities that occupied these territories.
Renata Grifoni Cremonesi graduated in Ancient Literature at the University of Rome La Sapienza and has a free teaching qualification in Palethnology. After working as an assistant for some time, she became a professor at the University of Pisa and is now retired. Her research focuses on the Paleolithic, Neolithic, and Metal Ages, with particular attention to ritual and funerary practices and prehistoric art.
