==Commentary==
The bronze situla of Cembra is also known as “Situla Giovanelli”, named after the first owner, the conte Benedetto Giovanelli.<br>'''Find circumstances''': The situla was found by Simone Nicolodi on the hill of Caslir (Doss Caslyr) in 1825 during the construction of the basement of a building. In occasion of the construction the excavators “si avvennero in una grotticella tutta intorno grossamente murata, e nello scassinarla diedero in esso. Ma il ritrovarono senza alcunché né dentro, né fuori, né d’ossa né di ceneri, né di carboni e semplicemente ripieno, com’ella era anche la grotticella stessa, di fine terra filtratavi per l’opera delle stagioni e di secoli” {{bib|Giovanelli 1844}}: 134).<br>'''Interpretation''': Giovanelli has excluded a domestic function because of the presence of the five inscriptions as well as a funerary context due to the absence of traces of bones or ash. {{bib|LIR}}: 206)
