The fame arisen from "Ciro’s" find and the attention of media towards the world of dinosaurs with their vicissitudes, have produced, in a short lapse of time a new attention towards the "jewels" of Pietraroja. So, within months, thanks to the sensibility of someone, what was science and heritage of few has become cultural heritage of all of us. It has been possible to realise a two hundred years old dream.

The masterly direction of the exhibition allows, in its articulation, the acquisition of scientific knowledges, such that even the most unprepared visitor, at the end of the route, is able to value, not only the orogenic processes which caused the present configuration, in general, of Mediterranean basin and in particular of Italy and Southern Apennines, but also also the environments that more than one hundred and then million years ago were the ecosystems of "Ciro’s" life and of the other organisms which swarmed Pietraroja "lagoon".

The didactic-interactive articulation itself represents the first section of the exhibition which is reached after a time excursus from the present to the Mesozoic era, through a "geological lift" that with wonderful video-space and time effects allows the visitors to know, not only, the differences between the world of dinosaurs and the one we live in, but also what and where were the continents, the climate and what vegetables and animals were typical of the various habitats.

Along the didactic-interactive route we get into a more and more detailed context. Indeed, in the first room makes a fine show the palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of the Cretaceous with its early forms of vegetables, the total lack of herbaceous species and the fully developed species of dinosaurs.

The second room houses what might have been the carbonatic shelf whose peculiar environmental conditions shaped and preserved the fossiliferous layer of Pietraroja.

Without leaving out the scientific aspect of the exhibition, the visitor, through an interactive route, can understand and explore the peculiarities of Pietraroja lagoon and the succession of periods, of fossilisation at first, then of diagenesis, that changed the "dwellers" from organisms into sedimentary rocks.

Thanks to the detailed context of the lagoon and of its vicissitudes, it’s possible to reconstruct the geological events which produced the present shape of Italy.

Making use of the poster designing and above all of a "covering strata" model, the visitors can have experience and under stand the processes of Matese formation and in general, the birth of Italy from the sea.
