Caput Mundi: Grottoni del Campidoglio
Implementing party
Project description
The planned works include historical-archaeological enhancement and construction and systems engineering, the latter completing what was already achieved in 2007. The works will be divided into different phases:
- enhancement of the cavities through laser scanner detection, stratigraphic reading of the signs left by the excavation tools, identification of the type of masonry equipment present and typological seriation of the plans to reconstruct their chronology and use over the centuries;
- research and creation of graphic and photographic documentation to be placed along the itineraries, also with the aid of video installations;
- recovery and safety of the cavities through the renovation of the floors, rehabilitation of the wall surfaces and creation of closing elements to create areas that allow the warehouse to be organised into independently manageable sectors;
- adoption of measures to mitigate the risk of exposure to ionising radiation;
- completion of the electrical and alarm system in all spaces;
- expansion of use by opening it to the public with the creation of new itineraries, including for disabled visitors.
