In 1877, a curious bronze object with strange inscriptions was found in Gossolengo. Its shape was initially linked to a bean or a human kidney cut in half. Today we know for certain that it represents the liver of a sheep and that the names of the gods engraved on it in Etruscan make it an instrument for interpreting the divine will through the study of the victims' livers. Its use is still unclear, however, and above all how it was used to foretell the future for men. Today the Etruscan Liver is in the Museums of Palazzo Farnese.
