Table of Contents
This book highlights all questions connected to the presence of specific female deities – as for example the Goddess Isis - in Valcamonica, where the local culture and economy have been linked to the surrounding mountains from Prehistory onwards. Today, the valley’s Rock Art is listed as a #94 UNESCO World Heritage Site, with ancestral habits and worship prospering through the centuries up to medieval and post-medieval times. Therefore, the visual and religious art has intersected local traditions, beliefs and official religion through the centuries.
