The ancient Appian Way, in the urban area of Rome, is a cultural laboratory that has taken shape over more than twenty centuries.

Follow the texts, drawings and reliefs of over seventy sepulchres, the result of a study campaign initiated within the Restoration Laboratory of the Department of Architecture of the Roma Tre University, which document the specifics of the individual ruins, focusing on the plurality of their architectural form, their construction techniques, their dimensions and their state of conservation.
Il testo introduce il volume sulla via Appia antica, studiata nell'area urbana di Roma, come laboratorio culturale che ha preso forma nel corso di più di venti secoli. I saggi affrontano l’Appia sotto molteplici aspetti: i valori del paesaggio, i possibili modi di interpretare i suoi monumenti e il suo territorio, il confronto tra approcci diversi alla rappresentazione, le campagne di restauro avviate nel corso dell’Ottocento. Seguono i testi, i disegni e i rilievi di oltre settanta sepolcri, frutto di una campagna di studi avviata nell’ambito del Laboratorio di Restauro del Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università Roma Tre, che documentano le specificità dei singoli ruderi, soffermandosi sulla pluralità della loro forma architettonica, delle loro tecniche costruttive, delle loro dimensioni e del loro stato di conservazione.

Abstract
The ancient Appian Way, in the urban area of Rome, is a cultural laboratory that has taken shape over more than twenty centuries. In it are deposited studies, works, reflections, but also the destruction and indifference of men over time: it is an inexhaustible reservoir that still reserves an unprecedented wealth of knowledge, both on the most ancient events, and on the transformations that have accompanied those events. The text introduces the volume on the ancient Appian Way, studied in the urban area of Rome, as a cultural laboratory that has taken shape over more than twenty centuries. The essays deal with the Appia in many ways: the values of the landscape, the possible ways of interpreting its monuments and its territory, the comparison between different approaches to representation, the restoration campaigns launched during the nineteenth century. Follow the texts, drawings and reliefs of over seventy sepulchres, the result of a study campaign initiated within the Restoration Laboratory of the Department of Architecture of the Roma Tre University, which document the specifics of the individual ruins, focusing on the plurality of their architectural form, their construction techniques, their dimensions and their state of conservation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
