Opened on the 10th of May 2013, this section of the museum intends to complete the first museum itinerary realised in 2004. This adds another step to the cultural goals of the museum.

The origins of the territory, the foundation of the new town, the development of farming, the sea with the salt trade, fishing, and the development of tourism are all explored. The goal is to offer visitors an overview of the local history giving them a more correct interpretation of the territory.

The large panels that form a cross-shaped corridor offer a journey into the history of the town through topographical maps, drawings, watercolours, postcards, nautical charts, pilot books, plants and sections of buildings, designs and prospectii, design proposals. They tell us and show us a developing territory from the old town in between the salt pans to the relocation to the sea, to tourist development.

The itinerary continues following the internal sections of the petals, which appear to create a flower at the centre of the hall. Several important themes of local history are developed here.

In the petal dedicated to archaeology, there are references to the most important findings on the territory, namely in 1989 the remains of the Basilica San Martino Prope litus Maris, and the discovery of the early medieval ship found in a sand quarry in the Savio zone during excavation work in 1956. The panels of the first petal highlight the images of the moment of the finding. The anchor, the container in bronze, remains of planking and frames are found together in a single display cabinet.
