MOS Hall - Mosaic Museum
Saltara Mosaic Hall, houses and enhances, giving back to the community an important pessa of its history: the mosaics resulting from findings in the Gambarelli locality in Saltara.
On November 27, 1927, the parish priest of Saltara, a small town in the province of Pesaro and Urbino, reported the discovery of buried ruins: it was not clear what they were, but the stone tesserae scattered in the plow furrows hinted at a Roman building, perhaps a prestigious one. The Superintendent's Office then organized an excavation campaign: remains of rooms, corridors, and a room adorned with a mosaic of triton and exotic animals emerged, unfortunately already eroded by agricultural work. Today, thanks to a project of the Municipality shared with the ABAP Superintendency of Marche, the University of Urbino and the Polytechnic University of Marche, financed by the Marche Region and supported by the Rotary Club of Fano, it is possible to admire the mosaics in a new multimedia display, curated by Studio Panni of Fano and DMP of Senigallia. The mosaics-including one of a panther and the splendid one of a wolf attacking a goat-are visible every Sunday.
