Finally, inside the terminal you can also see an exhibition space with Roman and Etruscan pieces on loan from the Port Authority and the Superintendence of Fine Arts and Culture of Metropolitan Rome, Viterbo and Southern Etruria as a testimony to the history of Civitavecchia as the main port of Rome and Lazio.
