Caput Mundi: Roman latrines in Via Garibaldi: restoration of the frescoes and mosaic and new lighting
Implementing party
Project description
The first interventions will focus on the accessibility of the archaeological site, in accordance with the regulations on architectural barriers, through the implementation of modifications and adaptations at the site entrance to allow easy access to all categories of visitors. Ramps may be built, elevators may be installed, or other solutions may be adopted to overcome architectural barriers and ensure an inclusive experience for all visitors.
In terms of systems, one of the main interventions will be the upgrading of the existing electrical system. This could include replacing the light fixtures with more efficient and environmentally friendly models that provide better illumination of the archaeological site. In addition, a new ACEA meter will be installed to ensure adequate power supply to the complex. An alarm system will also be installed to ensure the safety of the site and prevent any vandalism or unauthorised intrusion.
As for the wall apparatus, several restoration and conservation operations will be carried out. Cleaning of bricks and opus reticulatum wall elements will be carried out to remove the dirt accumulated over time. Then, revision and integration operations of the missing elements will be carried out, in order to restore the original appearance of the work. In addition, inconsistent grouting will be modified to ensure a uniform and consistent appearance.
The geometric frescoes at the site and the mosaic floor will undergo cleaning operations to preserve their aesthetic integrity. The operations will be aimed at removing dirt, deposits, and other substances that could compromise the beauty and legibility of the frescoes and mosaic floor.
