Dr. Angelo Bottini, Soprintendente Archeologico della Toscana, and Dr. Luca Fedeli, Archaeolgocial Inspector of our area. Andrea and Lorenza Santoni, their family, and the Gruppo Archeologico di Vicchio, have done so much to help us that it would take another volume to thank them properly. We also wish to thank the former Mayor of Vicchio, Alessandro Bolognesi, and the Cultural Assessor, Bruno Becchi, for all they have done for this project, the firm "Rosari Romano" for the loan of a storage shed, and the Associazione "il Paese" for hosting an annual lecture and dinner for the excavation staff. There many other friends who have helped us in so many ways: Giuseppe Ancarani, Luca and Monika Cateni, and Filippo Viola come immediately to mind. Dr. Mario Cyegelman and Dr. Mario Iozzo, of the Gabinetto di Restauro of the Soprintendenza Archeologica in Florence, have also assisted us greatly.   Friends from the Mugello: click here for photos.
