Works resumed after a halt caused by the sub-optimal temperature for the materials used in this stage.

To conduct a field survey it was first necessary to treat the area in front of the Etruscan temple — where the archeological findings now relocated in the Casa del Tempio were temporarely stocked — and two tombs located in the Longobard Necropolis.

Only then a certified drone, weighing less than 300 grams and flown by a pilot qualified by ENAC, could shoot an aerial photography of the area.

The data acquired are now being elaborated by the use of a professional digital photogrammetic software.

In the meantime the works on the podia were almost brought to conclusion: the surfaces were all cleaned and consolidated, and the adjacent walls were cleaned too.

We have one more stage to document here before the next — and presumabily last — update on the works, that are nearing their conclusion: the relocation of two arae, one dated from the Etruscan period and the other one Roman, which were laying covered in vegetarion in front of the stairs of the Roman temple.

The relocating was necessary to secure the relics and to check their conservation status, so that a new auspicable restoration intervention could be planned.

The arae were positioned on a brick basement and the various fragments were separated by wood panels that provide an adequate distance to move them safely.
