The exceptional nature of the archaeological site discovered in the years 2010-2013 during the construction of the real estate complex called “Città del Sole”, arouses great interest due to its ancient remains, so large and well preserved, covering a wide chronological period: from the prehistoric age through various phases of the republican and imperial epoch, up to the last frequentations of the area in the nineteenth century whose existence so far there was no mention.
The Antiquarium project intends to create a tour for small groups of people, which can be modulated according to the story of the area and the various levels of depth that can be envisaged for the guided tour.
The principal purpose of the project is to create a new connection between the city and the port with a system of public spaces, to encourage an urban, economic, social and environmental development of the city.

The enhancement of the building of historical value is based on its extraordinary potential, the frescoed halls, the stone stairs, the internal garden with a large terrace overlooking the Brunelleschi dome.

The demolition of an unusable residential building and the subsequent reconstruction with the same destination and useful surface increase are assumed. The building contains apartments of different sizes in order to satisfy a wider spectrum of potential users. The external finishes and language refer to the Roman building tradition of the modern building with a curtain finish, revisited in a plastic key and updated in a contemporary language.

The intervention originally had to foresee a banal internal redistribution of the spaces, restoring the main halls of the building, through the removal of false partitions. In the course of execution, however, from the removal of the chamber to reeds, a chestnut coffered ceiling and a pictorial top frieze emerged, both in a strong state of deterioration and severely damaged by incongruous maintenance interventions
