The Benvenuti Situla is a bronze situla that dates to c. 600 BC and was discovered in Este, Veneto, Italy. It is a product of the situla art that spread north from the Etruscans in this period, in this case to the Este culture that flourished in Este during the 7th century BC. The vessel is now conserved in the local National Museum Atestino.[1]
