Les objets ainsi récupérés, pour la quasi-totalité en bronze ; intègrent alors à plusieurs reprises les collections du Musée Archéologique de Bologne par le biais de saisies, ventes ou donations. Le premier chapitre de la thèse est consacré à la reconstitution des événements relatifs aux découvertes à travers l’analyse de toute la documentation d’archives qui a pu être récupérée et qui a été transcrite intégralement. La consistance réelle du lot a pu être ainsi établie en éliminant ce qui avait été confondu lors des différents recollements. L’analyse du mobilier (dont le catalogue exhaustif occupe le deuxième chapitre) montre que les objets proviennent de contextes funéraires appartenant à deux horizons chronologiques différents : un plus ancien, daté à la période orientalisante, et un plus récent contemporain de la phase « Certosa » attestée à Bologne.
