Deir el-Medina. Daily Life in the Village of the Artisans
Albergo Cantine Ascheri, Via Piumati, 25
On Thursday, October 15, 2026, at 8:45 PM, the Albergo Cantine Ascheri in Bra (Via Piumati 25) hosts the conference "Deir el-Medina. Daily Life in the Village of the Artisans". The meeting explores daily life in the workers' village of Deir el-Medina, founded during the 18th Dynasty to house the specialized artisans who excavated and decorated the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens. Through artifacts preserved at the Museo Egizio in Turin and the results of the Italian Archaeological Mission, the speaker reconstructs the social organization, religious practices, and work of scribes, painters, and stonemasons. Guiding the audience will be Alessandro Girardi, curator of the exhibition "Egypt. On the Traces of the Gods", who will illustrate how excavations conducted at the site have provided an exceptionally detailed picture of the life of this community, from dwellings to ostraca with notes and drawings, to evidence of strikes and legal disputes.
