Due to this large number of finds and the typological variety of the helmets, Verucchio can be considered a privileged observatory for the study of this class of materials. Helmets were in fact typical products of metallurgical workmanship. It is known that the Villanovan aristocracy in Verucchio based its self-portrayal extensively on the exaltation of its role and the warrior ideology. For this reason, rich panoplies were placed inside male burials, including in some cases helmets as well. This work, therefore, seeks to illustrate the main features of helmet production in Verucchio by examining the technical characteristics of the helmets in detail, identifying the craftsmanship and recognizing both original traits and those externally inspired.

types of helmets, we observe the transfer of decorative elements on helmets between
different communities and cultures.
In this article we focus on trident-shaped iron applications. These decorations
were common on bronze helmets of the type Montefortino from the IVth century BC
onwards. This study shows how these elements come from an older and much more
complex tradition that can be recognized in southern Italy starting from the fourth
century BC. The meaning of these applications is unknown, but here we suggest interpreting
them on a military background.""
