The Museum of Casal de 'Pazzi is a museum that focuses on archaeological, geological and paleontological related objects. The museum covers part of a Pleistocene deposit of fluvial origin. The deposit extended over an area of about 1200 m² and consisted of sand and gravel, mostly volcanic. The deposit, with isotopic stage 7 (about 200,000 years ago), is exceptionally well preserved and constitutes the last testimony of an extraordinary series of Pleistocene deposits that dotted the lower valley of the Aniene which allows to imagine a vanished prehistoric landscape, with its great faunas, ancient volcanoes and groups of hunter-gatherers
