Attività di formazione, ricerca e restauro nel Parco delle Tombe della Via Latina

This intervention starts from the moment of the discovery of the funerary monuments of exceptional interest, not only archaeological, discovered at the third mile of the Via Latina in 1857 and immediately subject to interventions by the competent authorities of the time. Starting from the oleographic reconstruction of the elevation of the tomb of the Valeri, inspired by the dictates of Viollet le Duc by the architect Francesco Fontana, after a period of quiescence of about 150 years, the research and restoration activity was resumed on the occasion of the funding for the Jubilee of 2000 with the opening of various restoration building sites (t. Pancrazi and Valeri) , recovery and anastylosis of the columns of the basilica of S. Stefano and archaeological excavations of investigation. The gigantic construction site area that occupies about half of the park, after a 10-year stop, was completed, reopened to the public and integrated with the opening of the Barberini tomb. The opening to the public has made it possible to resume the involvement of students and private individuals in the study, research and enhancement of the monuments present with various design hypotheses and tutoring with universities.
