Dal mese di giugno alla metà del mese di ottobre 2024 è attiva la quarta campagna di scavo nel sito archeologico denominato "Appia Antica 39" dal numero civico del lotto dove si tiene l'indagine archeologica. Un'occasione unica, in quanto un tratto significativo a ridosso del primo miglio della Via Appia Antica, mai indagato, ha restituito un'intera necropoli che abbraccia un arco temporale di più di sei secoli riportando alla luce mosaici, affreschi, monete, sarcofagi, lapidi, ecc., dando l'opportunità agli studenti di archeologia dell'Università di Ferrara, di condurre lo scavo diretto dalla Professoressa Rachele Dubbini. replica watches dupe Rolex Da quest'anno, grazie ad una importante Convenzione con l'Istituto Restauro Roma, alcuni studenti restauratori hanno affiancato i colleghi archeologi allo scopo di conservare e salvaguardare i numerosi reperti rinvenuti, con un proficuo scambio di competenze e sapere. Se un primo confronto con i materiali provenienti dal sito "Appia Antica 39" era già avvenuto grazie al Workshop inerente agli intonaci dipinti, durante la quarta campagna di scavo gli studenti IRR hanno avuto modo concreto di interfacciarsi con la realtà degli interventi da eseguire su uno scavo archeologico in corso. Con la presenza delle Docenti-Restauratrici Silvia Bartoli e Paola De Falchi, coordinate dal Direttore Roberto Luciani, sono state effettuate operazioni di pronto intervento, consolidamenti e studio delle problematiche conservative in atto, nell'ottica di dare la possibilità agli studenti dell’Istituto Restauro Roma di relazionarsi con una realtà quando più simile a quella lavorativa.

A laudable and absolutely fruitful initiative that deserves to be added to Maps and with its FIRST review: what is it about? It's an excavation—but there are many—that has the peculiarity of being on the side of the road in an area that would have been considered already explored, next to the tomb of Geta and opposite the former Cartiera Latina... and searching for what must have been the temple of Mars Gradivus, located according to studies in this area (a short distance from where tradition holds the meeting between St. Peter and Christ), a very rich and very interesting site was discovered, which, however, is attributable to a burial ground, a typology frequently found along the entire route of the Regina Viarum. Initiated by a group affiliated with the University of Ferrara, this excavation has since its inception engaged the public in tours and educational activities, veritable workshops of practical archaeology. As the work progressed, it uncovered stunning artifacts, from the well-crafted tuff walls to all the partitions dividing the various structures, which were enriched with paintings, not only in the arcosolia—clearly visible, as are the urns—but also on the walls. In many rooms, there are remains of mosaic floors, including a section featuring a stunning peacock in black and white tiles. Many artifacts have already been recovered, and the excavation—which began just over two years ago—will now be interrupted to begin research. This site will undoubtedly be restored, secured, and turned into a museum in the near future, allowing it to be enjoyed by the many visitors who pass by and peer through the fence (many openings have been conducted by the highly efficient, highly trained, and welcoming team—Editor's note). I had the privilege of participating in the latest opening and hope to return soon to see the restoration. For now, I'm sharing the photos and inviting you to stop by and take a look, keeping an eye on the construction site. Need some useful info?
