Started in March 2024, Krunatun is a research and museum project by MWA aimed at exploring for the first time the architectural history of the hypothesized Krunatun, a Longobard County of the Duchy of Benevento known as Cornito > Corneto, with seat in the actual Corleto Monforte (Salerno, Italy). The project is in partnership with 24 towns and in collaboration with the Cilento, Vallo di Diano, and Monti Alburni National Park (UNESCO World Heritage Site).

In December 2024, the first historical and non-invasive archaeological research was published in the book Krunatun. Corleto Monfoete in the Early Middle Ages.

In 2025, the research was extended to national scale.

In June 2026, the project received the attention of the Ministry of Culture for funding a first archaeological research and the preliminary project of the Krunatun Research Museum.
