Also an Egyptian bust will be returned to Chieti for the inauguration of the new Civitella museum, on the top of the hill where Chieti rises, where 2000 years ago the ancient Acropolis stood. Three sections: the Acropoli, the Roman city with amphitheatre and baths, and a third section to the Italic Marrucini.

The museum will be placed in the historical centre, in the palace of the old bishpry, and will be named after Giovan Battista Leopardi, celebrated Pennese scholar and archeologist. A special itinerary will be organized for tourists through the archeological museum, the other "Museo Diocesano", the Fashion Museum, Parco Caracciolo and Parco del Sole.

Another survivor, Martin Schou, is now in South Africa and is writing a book to thank the people from Villalago.
