Jacopo Gelmi, a young Classical Archaeology graduate from the University of Pavia, is carrying out a 3 month placement as a volunteer at the Archaeological Museum of the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum, in Jerusalem<\/strong>. Here, he talks about his experience:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe museum has a substantial collection of medals, of all kinds, including military, religious (papal) and commemorative, from all over the world. My job, which I carried out between November and January, along with two other volunteers, Giorgio Lauretta and Beryl Chan, was to record the medals in a database, including all the main data such as their measurements, dating and a descriptive summary. The database also contained photographs of the front and back of the medals. The descriptive element was particularly important, and it had to be very accurate; in fact, it was often useful to carry out some research so I could find some more information on the piece.<\/p>\n

I’m currently working on the medals which are part of the Piccirillo Collection, so-called as they were collected by Father Michele Piccirillo<\/strong>, a friar and archaeologist who was also the director of this very museum. They’re really important pieces which range from celebratory to religious medals. In short, I believe that the collaboration of volunteers like us, which allows\u00a0the museum’s entire collection can be completed and valued, is vital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
