From the room of the Sacred Belt the visitor can descend to an area partly underground, reaching the archeological section, made to connect the first section of the museum with the rooms along the cloister.
 The excavation allowed for the recovery of various archeological items, which attest to the habitation of the area from the Etruscans to the Lombards.
 Of great historical interest:
fragments of Etruscan ceramics (4th secolo BC), in particular urns, bowls, and jars;
a burial site (11th century);
two ovens, maybe for breadmaking (9th-10th centuries).
