The restoration work proceeds as planned and now the structures — finally freed from the weeds — can be easily identified.
This intervention will also facilitate the architectural survey scheduled in September, which will be conducted by the use of a flying drone.
We are monitoring the efficacy of the weeding.
If the weeds are devitalized, the treatment residues are removed; if there is still some biological activity, a second application of biocide is carried out.
The restoration of the Etruscan temple is now over. To delimit its original area, we set down a quarried rubble layer.
This layer will prevent the vegetation from growing, so it also has preservative function.
While the structures of the Roman temple were just treated with biocide, the Etruscan ones are now completely weeded, so they are easily visible.
Do you remember how they looked like a month ago?
Behind the temple, the gutter — once hidden by vegetation and crumbled soil — is now recovered and will soon be reactivated.
The gutter was obtained between the adjacent hill and the external western wall and it is double inclined, which makes it easier for the rain water to drain from the temple sides.
The restoration work of the podium and the stair of the Roman temple proceeds as planned.
The superficial deposit removal phase is almost over and it will soon be possibile to proceed with the cohesive consolidation of the stone.
The restoration of the Casa del Tempio is now finished. The Casa del Tempio is a 20th century building that used to store the archeological findings retrieved in the area and it will soon be able to store them again.
We are also working on settling the walls that delimit the tourist path, layering a coat of natural hydraulic lime mortar.
