Archaeological Sites

Over the years we have had to face numerous and important issues relating to the discovery of archaeological finds.

Performing excavation works in the historical centre of Naples has inevitably led to the discovery of important archaeological finds, the presence of which has required us on occasion to temporarily suspend the continuation of the works.

In accordance with the B.A.P.S.A.E. (the institute for the conservation of Neapolitan historical, architectural and ethno-anthropological heritage) in Naples, we have always found solutions to the recovery and enhancement of these finds. Using engineering and architectural knowledge, we have handled these goods in such a way as to conserve them while simultaneously making them accessible to the public.

The recovery of these assets also involved the creation of special structures such as, in the case of the discovery of Roman ships, in Piazza Municipio, for which special controlled atmosphere display cases were built to guarantee their conservation over time; or like the ongoing valorisation of the discovery of the Augustean Temple in Piazza N. Amore, on the site of the Duomo Station of the under construction Line 1 of the Naples Metro.
