A burial ground that came to light in Modena in 2009 caught the attention of a bisoma tomb, that is, that it contained two bodies, a man and a woman holding hands. Various hypotheses have been made. It is as if the pitiful hand of those who buried them wanted to signify: united in life.... united on the path to the afterlife.
Recently, DNA testing established instead that these were two male subjects. The burial ground dates back to the 5th-6th century A.D., i.e. to the time when Justinian's laws were enacted that punished homosexuality with capital punishment. This created curiosity and a good flow of visitors.
A Campoli Apennines, there is something similar in the archaeological area of the church of San Pancrazio: two tombs excavated in the same stone, one very close, almost attached to the other that archaeologists have attributed to the same era as the Modena burial ground. It is up to the mystery experts to offer us interpretations. We invite everyone to visit this magical place, not only for the church and the archaeological area, but also for its panoramic views. Campoli Appennino never ceases to amaze!
