From Monday May 5th, the SAET Laboratory will once again be engaged in the agora of Segesta, within the framework of the active agreement with the Segesta Archaeological Park.
The investigations, coordinated on the field by Maria Cecilia Parra (UniPI), will be more extensive and complex than usual. In fact, thanks to a far-sighted research program wanted by Park Director Luigi Biondo, in collaboration with the SAET Laboratory, directed by Anna Magnetto, the activity will take place with a joint action in which the Park and Scuola Normale will work side by side, in synergy of research, enhancement and economic commitment. The activity will involve both the southern slope of the large square, where structures also referable to the ancient city’s gymnasium (ephebikon) have come to light, and the northern slope where it is intended to restore full legibility to the large portico (stoa) that closed it with an architectural grandeur which is peculiar only to Athens and to the cities of Asia Minor.
