L’AUTEUR

ALBERTO POZZI

Alberto Pozzi was born on the shores of Lake Como in Lombardy, Italy, where he still resides with his wife, Anna; they have two daughters and a son as well as four grandchildren.
His classical studies paved the way for more than fifty years dedicated to various branches of archaeology – prehistoric worship, rupestrian or rock art and, above all, megalithism; this has taken him on many trips to the four corners of the earth to visit megalithic sites, photograph them, and to try to uncover their secrets.
He is active in several associations for the Study of Prehistory and has taken part in excavation missions both in Lombardy and in Western Thebes, Luxor, Egypt.
