Iron Age figures represent 80%
of Valcamonica rock art, hundreds of thousands of figures
finely pecked on the permian sandstone of one of the
richest european archives of open-air rock art.
Here only a little excerpt of warriors and duels, giving
an idea of the central theme of this period: the warrior,
its strength, its ability.
