Roman villa at the Via Neroniana

The Roman villa at Via Neroniana contains two symmetrical residential quarters with colonnade-enclosed gardens and geometric mosaic floor decorations in black, red, and white.

The University of Padua conducted excavations from 2001 to 2011, revealing a substantial Roman villa from the first century A.D. that remained active until the fourth century.

The villa represents an engineering and architectural project that combined local and external craftsmanship to create elaborate residential spaces near therapeutic thermal springs.

The archaeological site includes modern walkways and informational panels that guide visitors through the excavated residential quarters and mosaic-decorated rooms.

Thousands of everyday objects, ceramics, and ornamental items discovered during excavations provide detailed information about daily life in this thermal region.
