The project
The meeting is the ‘concluding event of theproject of the same name Dal Fundus Mallianus al Monte dei Sette Castelli, carried out as part of the Fondazione CRT’s Esponente 2022 call for proposals with the aim of enhancing the very long continuity of settlement of the Magliano area (from the Neolithic to the present).
In particular, the project came about as a result of the Friends of Alfieri Castle reporting the degradation of the remains of the Roman villa and the need to display the archaeological collection of Antonio Adriano and the Gruppo Spontaneo Maglianese, an experience crucial to the country’s identity, and made it possible to complete several operations on several fronts.
With this project, the open-air archaeological area located in Sant’Antonio on Valmorterra Street was secured, where in 2006, during excavations for the construction of a spillway channel for the Rio Valle, the remains of the Roman rustic villa had come to light in a state of severe disrepair.
The archaeological area was manually weeded and the Roman wall consolidated.
Also produced was ageoreferenced multimedia audioguide that allows, via the free izi.TRAVEL app, independent enjoyment of the new loop trail that connects the various points of interest in the different hamlets of Magliano, from the lower part of the town (where the archaeological area is located) to Alfieri Castle and Geolocates all major archaeological findings.
Two large information panels were made, placed at the Roman wall on the Fundus Mallianus, the Via Fulvia, the Roman rustic villas, and the Data published by the Superintendency in connection with the 2006 excavations with QR-codes to access the georeferenced audiotour, digital map of archaeological findings, and texts translated into English.
Three other small panels with QR-codes provide access to the geo-referenced audiotour and have been placed at the two large panel holders at the elementary school and at the beginning of the climb to the Alfieri Belvedere, while the third is planned to be placed inside the castle.
Finally, the project made it possible to rearrange and partially expose, in a showcase set up inside the hall of the North Round Tower of Alfieri Castle, the rich and significant collection of archaeological finds, unearthed by the Spontaneous Group and local scholar Antonio Adriano, founder of the group of friends dedicated to the preservation of local folk traditions and history.
