ROME - After the success of the last extraordinary visits for the European Heritage Days 2021, the Special Superintendency of Rome reopens to the public the tombs of Fadilla and Nasoni, two jewels of the Via Flaminia of great historical and archaeological interest. Starting from January 20, every third Thursday of the month with free admission upon reservation, it will be possible to discover or rediscover the two funerary buildings dating back to the 2nd century AD. Located at the eighth kilometer of the Via Flaminia, both tombs are carved into the tuff and embellished with an elegant decoration with mosaics, paintings and stuccos.
"Reopening the places of culture in an ordinary way - according to Daniela Porro Special Superintendent of Rome - with the opportunity to plan visits and give more people the opportunity to access the monuments, is a significant and constant commitment of the Superintendency. Above all in a case like that of the Saxa Rubra Mausoleums, still little known, and which are part of a wider context of enhancement of the sites located along the Via Flaminia, together with the Arco di Malborghetto and the Villa di Livia ". The Tomb of Fadilla, discovered in 1923, preserves its internal decorations practically intact, starting from the floor mosaic, up to the wall paintings and on the vault.
