Some of the activities at the excavation sites in Allumiere will be:
The project starts on Mondays. Referents from the NGO do the pick-up at Civitavecchia train station and then offer a historical tour of the village (Allumiere). On Tuesdays, there is the training on the excavation site and the work begins.
The municipality of Rome is unable to guarantee uniform effectiveness in managing all the archaeological sites present in the area. This depends on a general difficulty in organizing coordination of activities, but also on the lack of economic resources to finance the excavations. This risks ignoring and damaging a historical and cultural heritage that is fundamental for the Italian population, but also decisive in guaranteeing continuous work for archaeologists, historians, restorers and other figures who are highly qualified but have difficulty in recovering and preserving, "on their own. ", the past of Rome.
The volunteers involved in this project will learn a lot about history and archaeology, in a professional way. At the same time, they will contribute supporting the NGO who is taking care or preserving this precious memory that is at the basis of the Italian culture.
