Area Archeologica di San Pietro degli Schiavoni

The excavation area extends over 4,800 square meters beneath Teatro Verdi, revealing structural remains of Roman-era buildings and daily life artifacts.

During construction work in the 1960s, workers discovered an ancient Roman insula containing walls made of bricks, stone, and mortar dating from before 1456.

The neighborhood's name originates from a 13th-century church where Slavic and Albanian communities gathered for religious ceremonies and social interactions.

The modern steel structure of Teatro Verdi incorporates special designs that maintain access to the archaeological area for researchers and visitors.

The site presents multiple layers of history, from ancient Roman settlement patterns to medieval religious structures and modern architectural solutions.
