ABSTRACT

The archeological park of Baratti and Populonia was inaugurated in 1998 and enlarged in 2007. The park

stretches from the Baratti bay with the remains of the necropolis from the Etruscan period to the top of the

hillsofPopuloniawiththemonumentalremainsoftheacropolisoftheancientcity.

The creation of the park and its development are the successful result of collaboration between the Heritage

and Cultural Activities Ministry (in particular, the Tuscany Regional Direction for Cultural and Landscape

Heritage and the Tuscany Archeology Department) the Tuscany Regional Council, the Municipality of

PiombinoandtheParchiValdiCorniaSPAwhichisentrustedwiththemanagement.

The aim is to highlight the philosophy with which, in the area of the Park, there have been projects for the

conservation and enhancement of the assets, with particular reference to the intervention of a recent ARCUS

funding(currentlyinprogress).

This project has been elaborated respecting the management and valorization strategies following the

agreement between the Heritage and Cultural Activities Ministry, the Tuscany Regional Council and the

Municipality of Piombino. An agreement for “exploitation, coordinated and integrated valorization of local

Cultural Heritage of the area of Baratti and Populonia aimed at the completion and management of the

ArcheologicalPark”.
