Via Francigena to be taken in Frattocchie to avoid dangerous traffic, it is an alternative to the Appia Nuova for those unfamiliar with it

A stretch of the Appia Antica which remained buried for more than 1500 years near Marino, in the Castelli Romani area, has come back to light. Following construction work on a fast food restaurant, this precious road structure appeared to everyone's amazement due to its perfect state of conservation and, therefore, was returned to the public after a restoration project. On the 45 meters of paving, bordered by stone walls and channels for water drainage, the signs of the passage of Roman chariots are still visible. And archaeologists were again surprised as burials were found at the edge of the road, with the skeletons of three men dating back to the 2nd-3rd century AD, in addition to a fourth skeleton discovered not far away, just 50 centimeters below the level of the road. 'asphalt. “A very important historical testimony”, according to Alfonsina Russo, superintendent of the Metropolitan Area of Rome, according to which “the Appian Way, as well as by enthusiasts of the Circus of Tiberius, was crossed by famous people, such as Horace, who talks about his journey from Rome to Brindisi in the fifth Satire. We imagine that he saw these territories and traveled through them, just like Saint Paul who in 61 AD. came back towards Rome from Campania". The Frattocchie stretch was probably a branch of the Regina Viarum, built to serve the villa of a rich nobleman or an imperial property of Bovillae, the first inhabited center you encountered when leaving Rome. Now an underground museum gallery has been created, accessible for free, which allows visitors to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of Ancient Rome, with the help of information panels in Italian and English. And thanks to a floor of glass panels, the road is also visible from the McDonald's structure built in the area above. The recovery intervention lasted four years, and was completed thanks to the 300 thousand financing received from the multinational catering company, which from now on will also take care of the maintenance of the archaeological site.
