This project focuses on recovering and enhancing an archaeological hypogeum complex. Key interventions include restoring the modern roof, reviewing and improving existing systems (electrical, plumbing, lighting), and arranging the underlying archaeological area. This will involve cleaning, reconstructing elements, creating visitor itineraries, and setting up information points to ensure a welcoming and informative experience that highlights the site's history. This project is financed by the Recovery and Resilience Facility with EUR 1190000. The project focuses on a series of interventions for the recovery and enhancement of the area. Some of the key interventions include: Restoration of the modern roof of the hypogaeum complex: restoration work will be carried out on the modern roof of the hypogaeum complex, in order to preserve its integrity and ensure its protection from atmospheric agents; Review of systems: reviews — and, if necessary, improvements to the systems installed in the area — will be carried out, such as electrical, plumbing or lighting systems, in order to ensure the correct functioning and safety of the spaces; Arrangement and preparation of the underlying archaeological area: interventions will be carried out to arrange and enhance the archaeological area beneath the hypogaeum complex. This could include the cleaning, reconstruction or rearrangement of architectural elements, as well as the creation of itineraries and information areas for visitors. Through these interventions, the aim is to preserve and enhance the hypogaeum complex, creating a welcoming and informative environment for visitors, allowing them to fully appreciate and understand the history and importance of this archaeological area.
