PATRIZIA FORTINI.Translation:1.- "In this structure, we have verified the effective existence of a bay with two elements, one with a sarcophagus and a circular element that had been represented on a 1900 map that explains the excavations of Giacomo Boni in that period." 2.- "The importance is that we are surely in front of a monument, which having been saved and being in a special context such as the Piazza xx, must have a value in itself. It surely represents a memorial, it has a symbolic value of this reality that we don't understand yet."
