Achille Graziani (Villetta Barrea, 4 May 1839 – Alvito, 23 October 1918) was an Italian archaeologist.
Life
Graziani was a member of a rich family with land possessions in the Marsican Abruzzo, in Terra di Lavoro and in Capitanata.
Following the ideals of the Italian Risorgimento, in 1860 Graziani participated in the expedition of the Thousand, fighting in Milazzo and in the Battle of Volturnus.
An attentive scholar, he carried out excavation in the Grotta dei Banditi (later renamed Grotta Graziani), where he discovered important lithic objects. In his palace of Alvito he collected many archaeological findings, including important Oscan inscriptions, partly studied by Mommsen and recorded in the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum.
