The Oscan Table, a treasure of ancient Italy

The Agnone Table (or Oscan Table) is a bronze tablet inscribed in the Oscan language, among the most important finds from pre-Roman Italy and a fundamental document for understanding the language, religion, and culture of the Samnite people. Found in the territory of Agnone, in the province of Isernia, it is one of the identity symbols of Alto Molise.

An international conference of studies

The conference "The Agnone Table in the Italic Context" brings together Italian and international scholars at the Teatro Italo Argentino for three days of scientific presentations. The event is the result of collaboration between the Municipality of Agnone, the Ministry of Culture, the Superintendence for Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape of Molise, the National Institute of Archaeology and Art History, and the Directorate of Regional Museums of Molise, and is part of the cultural hub project of Palazzo Bonanni.

An event open to the city
