Guido Sutermeister Civic Museum

The Guido Sutermeister Civic Museum, located in Legnano in the metropolitan city of Milan, is an archaeological museum dedicated to the archaeologist Guido Sutermeister, who advocated for its foundation. Established in 1929, the museum is the result of Sutermeister's tireless efforts, engaging in archaeological research in the region between 1925 and 1964. His vision and commitment have given rise to an institution that continues to celebrate the historical richness of Legnano.

The collections of the Guido Sutermeister Civic Museum have grown over time, thanks to artifacts from excavations conducted by the Archaeological Superintendent of Lombardy and donations from private individuals.

The museum primarily houses artifacts from the city and its surrounding areas. The vast majority of archaeological finds date from the prehistoric period to the medieval Lombard era, with a particular focus on the imperial Roman age. The exhibited artifacts document human settlement in the area since the Copper Age, attesting to the existence of a settled civilization since the Bronze Age. Through these artifacts, the museum provides a fascinating overview of the history and evolution of Legnano and its ancient roots.
