Organization and Staff

Archeocamuni's logo, inspired by Valcamonica rock artArcheocamuni was created in 1989 by Mr. Alberto Galbiati as a no-profit society and then turned into a business company in 1992. It is located in Capo di Ponte (BS), via Naquane.

In its logo, three human beings under a looming sun, taken from a Valcamonica rock engraving dating back to the Copper Age, remind the main field in which Archeocamuni operates: prehistoric archaeology and rock art. The open book under the men stands for Culture and its circulation.

The operators are chosen for their skills, trained and kept updated every year through theoretical classes (rock art, archaeology, environment, education to the natural and historical heritage) and on the field practice.
