The 2018 archeological survey, which was conducted at Pieve near Orzivecchi (Brescia), revealed a diverse array of archeological materials ranging from several historical periods. In particular, an altar dedicated to the indigenous god Bolgolius by Tertius Donnedo Tertulli f. was discovered. According to linguistic theory, the theonym Bolgolius probably has Celtic origins and perhaps has a connection with the god Mercurius.
